Workshop Description
At Plainsong Farm, we're developing programs and processes that grow disciples and tend Creation at the same time. We're sure we aren't alone - others throughout our province are engaged in similar efforts. Come to learn more about our ministries (including the heirloom wheat program we received from Honoré Farm and Mill which now provides communion bread to multiple churches). Come and reflect on Scripture and how our journey as disciples means engaging the hard truths of climate change. Come, remember your baptism, and begin again as a servant of Christ through whom all things were made.

This workshop includes Bible study. a presentation by the Rev. Nurya Love Parish about the ministries of Plainsong Farm, sharing of your own stories of care of Creation, and regional networking for mutual learning and support.
