The 8th season of our Garden Ministry was one of the most productive in its history. A total of 25,179 lbs. of vegetables were harvested and distributed to 21 local organizations to include food pantries, community kitchens, and home shelters. Even though the weather was cool and wet, not ideal conditions for some of the vegetables grown, this year's harvest exceeded last year's harvest by over 2,000 lbs. God continues to bless our Ministry.

A big THANK YOU is extended to everyone who helped make this harvest season so successful by participating in the planting, weeding, harvesting, and clean-up efforts and especially to the following individuals who donated so freely of their time: Bob Christoffersen; Mark, Stacy, Justin and Trevor Christoffersen; Al and Hue Sloss; Judy Hansen; Thiara Smith; Daryl Walters; Steve & Patti Sorensen; Bob Kline; Linda Martel; and Bill Cameron.

Another thank you to the church members who purchased vegetables in the narthex during the harvest season. Proceeds from these sales provide funding for seeds, plants, tools, and garden equipment required to sustain the Ministry.

As this harvest season ends, planning will soon commence for the 9th year of our Ministry. We encourage additional members to get involved in this exciting and rewarding outreach ministry of our church.
