The local shelter invited churches in the community to partner with them to make their lawn space beautiful for their clients by providing a variety of spring bulbs. Resurrection had a prayer garden that also needed spring bulbs. During the month of October people brought all sorts of bulbs to the church: frilly pink tulips, double daffodils, crocus, and more. At the end of the month the bulbs were blessed and prayers were said for the men who use the shelter. Half the bulbs were delivered to the shelter and the other half were put in the garden --- this event had young and old helping each other plant the bulbs all over the church property. In the spring the church garden reminded us to remember the men who live on the streets, and reminded the men that there is beauty and hope in the world, and people who care.
