Hot summer sun burns the back of our necks as we work the dirt of our faith.
Brambles prick our fingers, and we easily stumble on the rocks while amending the soil
with the good news of the gospel.

We pause and wonder: Are we making a difference? Is the work worth it?

Listen church family and persevere in your faithful cultivation!
Weed and mulch, for what we say and do matters in this world.
Love with compassion and serve with humility and we will bear fruit.

May God bless your and keep you.
May the grace of Christ strengthen you.
May the Spirit embolden you your witness to God’s love.
