Tent Revival

I had the opportunity to use my “green thumb” gifts in the beginning stages of a tent beautification project at The Life Center. In the past year, the church has set up a large tent right beside their rented meeting place. It sits out in an open field and serves multiple purposes. They use it a couple times a month to hold their Sunday service in (they have grown so much that their strip mall storefront is a tight squeeze). They also use it as an outreach to their community including basketball several times a week. To add to the attraction and the flexibility of the space, we picked up trash, “weed eated”, and sprayed Round-Up around the concrete pad. Later, we will install a gravel border, some picnic tables, and a planter bed. Gardening in 97% humidity is a bit different from the “dry heat” of Visalia but it sure helps to shed a couple pounds.

It is great to hear that you are sweating like a "monkey". Kansas People can relate to you, gardening and the humidity. Sister Michelle
