"Jesus is coming — Plant a tree!" That was the theme of the last session of the "Ecology of the Bible" study on April 26th. After review of an article on that topic by Dr. NB.T. Wright, Bishop of Durham, the group went outside, got busy digging, and planted a crab apple tree in the area near the beautiful azaleas in front of The Gathering Place.
On the absolutely gorgeous Sunday afternoon, several members of the class got their hands dirty, including two "recuperating" ladies.
The study may now be over, but the group is not disbanding. Instead, they have committed to staying together as the "Creation Care Team" here at Avondale Pattillo. The group has already planned several actions in the coming months. Next on the action list is distributing some Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs to home-bound members in the area.
