The banners in the sanctuary colorfully proclaim it. Now soil offers soul a sign as greening JCGardens cover winter beds with the liturgical "go" - green - of kingdomtide.
Check out the promise. Kennydale UMC's JCGarden, the layout so clear in the photo below, is almost lost in a sea
of green (bottom, right), hiding the little crosses representing the four Christian acts, as it overflows with the promise of food. Click on the photo and the detail of the coming Kennydale harvest is revealed - beans, onions, tomatoes, carrots...What feasts await!
Could it be that the harvest of God's kingdom is realized only as the cross is "lost" in the countless, anonymous "green" acts of compassion and justice performed by a people rooted in God through regular acts of devotion and worship? Makes me proud to be a part of the two lectionary groups where we wrestle with the words of the Word who plays in creation, plays in history and plays in community...and who prepares the banquet table to which all are invited.
