Blessing of the Garden

Blessing of the Garden

Come Bless the Garden! Join us on May 24th just after coffee hour for a short garden blessing at Grace’s Gifts of Dirt garden plot — only a six-minute drive from Grace. The garden provides fresh vegetables to our local Helpline House food bank, and flowers to the Island Volunteer Caregivers. Rev. Eric will bless the four corners of the garden as we process the perimeter and sprinkle the new seedlings with freshly blessed holy water!

Maps will be handed out on the 24th. Coffee, tea, and savories to follow the blessing.
