On Friday night, we had the awesome experience of learning about seed planting, worm composting, and growing your own food. God has given us the beautiful gift of the earth which is especially evident for us in the Spring. We have the chance to see new life blooming everywhere and creation occurring all around us.
In Luke chapter 8, Jesus tells us the Parable of the Sower. Seeds are dispersed onto various places, some of those places are good for seed to grow, and others are not. Jesus then explains that the seed is the word of God. Some people want to hear the word of God, but the weeds in their life choke the word. Others, are not ready to hear the word of God like the seed that is planted on rocks with no moisture. Through creation, we can see so many of the ways that God works in the world and is always creating.
It was great to get to be a part of creation on Friday. We are going to continue our care for creation in June at the Ignatius Centre. Matt, a member of our community, has generously allowed us to help him grow food on his plot. The food grown will be donated to the needy in our community.
