Where: FUMC North Campus
When: Saturday, September 11
Time: Begins at 9:00 a.m.

All summer the church has been growing and giving away hundreds of pounds of produce to people and community organizations in and around Nashville.  This Saturday we’re celebrating the end of our Summer growing season by gathering the last of the tomatoes, pulling up the plants and doing a little garden maintenance.  But we’re not done yet.  At the same time we’re going to be celebrating the BEGINNING of our Fall planing season by preparing beds for turnip greens and picking the first of the peas.  We’d love to have your help as many hands are needed to keep bringing the best of this ministry to the hands of people who need it.  It would be great for families to do together.  Refreshments will be on hand…so just bring yourself.
