Planting, Parables & Prayers!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who supported and encouraged
our Eco-Lent activities! With your help, we raised over
$150 at our eco-friendly bake sale and adopted our very
own Cedar of Lebanon! We will be sent regular pictures
and updates so stay tuned to see how our tree is growing.
We also did some planting of our own to celebrate Earth The AIDS
Day! We planted tomato, pea, bean and herb seeds in Walk
recycled cans to create our very own Edible Gardens! We
will water and care for our plants and hopefully get to
sample the fruits (or vegetables!!) of our labour soon!
This spring, the kids of PromiseLand have started exploring
Parables! To kick off this new theme, we watched the
Godspell dramatization of “The Sower and the Seed”. We
then created our own representations of the Parable by
planting a bean seed in four different environments and
carefully monitoring the outcomes. We will continue this
exploration with the Parable of the Good Samaritan, the
Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard and the Parable of
the Prodigal Son. For each Parable, we are identifying the
lesson and then trying to apply it to our own lives. It’s
sometimes a challenge but it is definitely helping us to better
understand the Bible and Jesus’ ministry!
Our Young Anglican Leaders are such a dynamic, engaged
and fun group! At the end of April, we took action to
