HI all,
Things are blooming in the garden and we need to harvest. And, we can't wait for Tuesday. So, please come to the garden Monday night around 6 to help us harvest. And, our regular person who takes our donations in for us is on vacation. So, if someone can take what we harvest to either the Resource Center or North Dallas Shared Ministries (you can either take the harvest home or swing by the church on Tuesday and pick it up) that would be a great help.
If you can't come Monday, please come on Thursday as we will need to do the same all over again. Same time.
There will not be a Tuesday work night this week.
Remember, many hands make light work! So I look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow night and/or Thursday.
FYI - the Okra is blooming and needs to be picked often. Cucumbers are also blooming and the peas seem to be sprouting everywhere. So, if you can't make it to either of the nights, there is probably some to harvest the rest of the week as well. Just make sure it gets to a food center or into the church kitchen and notify me.
As always, if you do harvest, please send me an email with the weight.
Thanks,
Vicki]]>http://www.artupton.com/newtom/newsflashes/index.php?entry=entry100719-0844182010-07-19T00:00:00Z2010-07-19T00:00:00ZEvents On Our Calendar]]>http://www.artupton.com/newtom/newsflashes/index.php?entry=entry100614-1014292010-06-14T00:00:00Z2010-06-14T00:00:00ZRay Suarez to Speak in Fort Worth Episcopal DioceseRay Suarez to speak March 13

I am spiritual but I am not religious ... or
