Prayer Path is Now Open-- Come Pray about Fruitfulness

As discussed earlier, we want to add a new crop this year--enriched prayer lives. 


To that end, we now have a prayer path in the garden. It is a set of 12 stations within the garden that highlight prayer topics related to the theme of fruitfulness.  Each station identifies a number of scripture passages addressing the topic, to help prompt prayers.  The topics are:


God's desire that we each be fruitful

God as the source of fruitfulness

How to connect to God's fruitfulness

The role of patience in fruitfulness

How being compacted--rigid--hinders our fruitfulness

How distractions hinder our fruitfulness

What fruitfulness can look like

Feeding the hungry as a way to bear fruit & ways to do that

Clothing the naked as a way to bear fruit & ways to do that

Welcoming strangers as a way to bear fruit & ways to do that

Ministering to the sick and incarcerated as a way to bear fruit & ways to to that

Praying for those fed by the garden 


The stations are arranged in the pattern of a cross, with the black squares showing where the stations are:

Bibles are in the bin under the bench at the top of the garden (the east side, by the hill). 


Come on in, God is eager to talk with you.

We get our irrigation system up and running between now and Saturday.

That we get those tomato & pepper plants planted properly and that we get our squash/zucchini  planted too.


That God's love  unmistakably  shine through  the Hilliard Summer Lunch Program.

The Spring Crop Is In

God blessed us with a wonderful spring crop--3,751 Lbs. of mustard greens, turnips, arugula, kale, beets and strawberries.That is far more that the 1,500 Lbs. we expected. To put it in perspective, we usually don't harvest that much until late July/early August.  God has truly blessed us.


Here are the details of what was harvested and where it went.

A BIG day coming up on Saturday..

We have a big day coming up at the garden this Saturday, 5-19—We've got to get 400 tomato plants and 100 pepper plants in the ground!

We'll start at 8:30 AM and keep going until all the plants are in. Please come by when you can and help for as long you can.

We're at UALC's Mill Run campus, located at 3500 Mill Run Drive in Hilliard.

Thanks!
