New Eden Gardening Ministry Started
The Church of All Nations (Japanese)’ New Eden gardening ministry started about a month ago. They had worked in the field twice already (of course, someone goes to check and work in the field almost everyday). We thank God for the good weather and the good time we had together. For photos, go to the website www.allnationscanada.ca
It’s fun, therapeutic and relaxing to work in the field: ploughing, Weeding, Seed planting, etc. If you enjoy the smell of grass, the touch of the soil, great time of chatting with friends in Japanese and/or English, and enjoy light lunch prepared by a little girl, you are welcome to join us. The next meeting will be on June 7 (Sat) from 10:00am to 2:00pm (meeting every other Saturday).
Please contact Rev. Shihoko Warren at shihoko@ammic.ca for details.
