Gifts of Dirt Garden Blessing

Gifts of Dirt Garden Blessing

On Sunday, May 24, a group of Grace people gathered at the Gifts of Dirt Garden to bless the ground, seedlings, and volunteers who grow the vegetables and flowers into maturity. It was a joyous occasion of beautiful liturgy, robust singing (“Inch by Inch, Row by Row”), and the sprinkling of holy water on the plants. The short ceremony was followed by refreshments under a tent. Thank you all for a lovely “Rogation” event!
