Street Family: Serving as a Family

As a family, we love finding ways we can serve together -- which can be a challenge with younger kids. We care deeply about teaching our children to respect and nurture our environment, so gardening and creation care are natural outpourings of that desire. We have been happy to help play a role in getting FUMCB's garden efforts off the ground this year -- we've started small as we've experimented with the beds and the space, but it's been great to deliver some produce to the food pantry. It's also been great to look at the landscaping around the church and focus on invasive species removal. There are certainly ways we can grow these efforts next year and we hope to help with gardening for food and pollinators alike in the future!
