During the summer,
our regular nursery
staff are on break.
Most of the time
our Nursery Leader Anezka Lungwitz will be
here and she needs one helper. We need two peo-
ple in order to open up the nursery. We hope to
have enough people so that you would only need
to help out once a month. If enough people would
sign up, you would only need to help out one time.
Teenagers can use this for community service
hours. Please email me at:
[email protected] or call 582-4543 if
you are interested in helping out in this wonderful
ministry. — On God’s Belay, Mark Beard
St. Luke’s Garden Ministry News
From Mary Purdy—June 10
Purdy Produce Plot Planters, Pickers, and Pre-
parers: The garden has had challenges. The potatoes
that did not emerge are a mystery and discouraging.
The tomatoes have had a hard knock life withstand-
ing frost, whipping winds and inconsistent growing
temperatures. However, the lettuce is lush and green
and ready to pick for guests to take home next Satur-
day night. Five rows of beans look hardy; and the
peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and
kale are taking off.
Since I last communicated, Ken Miller has worked
in the garden. Last weekend he, Sue, Alana, and Sam
came to the garden to work. They mulched the green
beans. Afterwards on the patio, we ate fresh cookies
and drank lemonade and ice tea. Chris Purdy spent
several hours over the weekend re-tilling, weeding,
and laying down landscape fabric. He makes this
garden possible.
Today I went to Murphy's Gardens to purchase some
replacement tomato plants. Lori met me at the door
to donate plants including: 55 tomatoes, 9 peppers,
and a flat of onions.
Ken Miller is coming to work in the garden Saturday
morning and hoping some youth from Hope Church
will come to help also. It would be wonderful to
have other volunteers. We will start about 9am al-
though Ken said he’d try to be here earlier.
Work to be done: Weed potato rows and attempt
replanting. Plant: 55 tomatos, 10+ peppers, canta-
loupe, cucumbers, and sugar snap peas. Mulch: let-
tuce and celery rows. Weed: beet, carrot, and bean
rows.

Come hear leaders from the farming, faith, and sci-
entific community as they discuss and answer ques-
tions on how climate change is impacting agriculture

their faith calls them to respond. Afterwards, you
can get free pollinator seeds for your home garden!
For more information talk to Terry Stewart.
Father’s Day, June 19th—Tool Sunday
For over 60 years, Church World Service has
worked in partnership with local communities to
identify their needs and access the resources they

ture. Your contribution to
CWS for tools will help peo-
ple in need to acquire the
tools, seeds, and water access
for survival and stability for
all their future generations.
