Good News Garden – St. Nick’s News Oct. 11, 2024

Full St. Nick’s News for October 11, 2024

Dear Friends –

I want to share this wonderful information from Haley Bankey regarding our Good News Garden. As you know, the Garden is a community garden with hopes of providing sustenance for Provisions, connection with one another, and celebrating the glory of God through caring for creation. We have many wonderful, knowledgeable, and talented gardeners in our congregation. We are excited for the future of this ministry and want to share our good news.

As we enter the fall season, we are excited to share the latest updates from our Good News Garden ministry. The hard work of installation is almost complete, and now the fun can truly begin!

Our sister parish, St. Mark’s Episcopal, awarded the St. Nicholas’ Good News Garden $4150 to create a series of gardening-focused workshops that offer knowledge and education for our neighbors in Bulverde. The St. Nick’s Growers’ need your insights and passions as we set about sharing the Good News!
