On plants and planting

It’s been nearly a month since 50 of us labored in the 100 degree heat at Vollentine Elementary School.  We planted plants mostly.  Azaleas.  Arbevidas.  In the digging, weeding and planting of the exhausted weekend gardeners we prayed that the school would be a haven for the students that would begin classes 10 days later.  And so, alongside the hostas, we planted prayers.

This weekend Alan & Pam May will be spending their first night in their new rental home in the Vollintine Evergreen neighborhood.  This weekend Living Hope is planting people in the community to follow the prayers that were planted weeks earlier.

Prayers and People.  That’s what we’re planting.  And in the middle of it all Living Hope is asking God to continue planting – that after more prayers and more people, that its a church that gets planted.  That is why, a month ago, we sweated in the 100 degree heat.
