“In the Garden….”
The St. Thomas’ Garden Ministry will be meeting on Wednesday evenings, at 7:00pm, by the Meditation Garden, to enjoy fellowship and prayer as we work to maintain our beautiful campus! Everyone of all abilities, ages, experience levels, are welcome! Water will be provided for drinking and for the plants! Contact Donna F, dlfesq@aol.com or 856-725-6869 if you have questions.
“And He walks with me and He talks with me, and he tells me I am his own, and the joy we share as we tarry there, none other, has ever, known.”
This week, the Garden Ministry brightened up the benches in the Meditation Garden!
