July 21, 2024 - A Liturgy for Gardening - Dedication of the Farmland Produce Distribution Project's Garden at Creator

There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred and desecrated places. Wendell Berry 

This was a perfect morning of rain and sunshine for this long anticipated dedication.

Members of Creator and the Farmland Distribution Project gathered last Sunday in the spirit of hope and renewal, to consecrate a space for a garden. This will be a sacred space. Just as God as Creator adorned the world with fruits, plants and flowers, this garden was dedicated to be beautiful and bountiful.

A garden is a reminder of God's unending love and the miracles of creation that surround us. As the planted seeds take root and flourish, we trust everyone's faith will deepen and the harvests will feed many. 

We pray it will thrive under the watchful eyes of those who tend it and the warm embrace of the sun. We wanted to honor to this place where we will come together in fellowship, celebrate the cycles of nature, and recognize the divine in all living things. 

This consecration marks the beginning of a journey invested at this moment with growth, bounty, beauty, and grace.
