Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ

Do you have extra garden or CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Vegetables? Bring them to church to share with others.

Would you like some fresh produce - feel free to help yourself to items on the table in the lounge. If you feel like leaving a donation, it will go to local food banks. Any leftover produce will be shared with the Good Shepherd Food Pantry.

Are you interested in the connection between your faith and the food you eat?  Join us for a potluck Sunday evening at the home of John and Lee Pray.  We will have a fun meal together.  Bring what you can.  If it is locally grown food, that is great.  If not, that’s okay too.  Afterwards we will have some discussion based on the these two short readings.

Please RSVP to Winton Boyd at winton@orucc.org or 271-7212

Genesis 1: 26-28
God created human beings; he created them godlike, reflecting God’s nature.
He created them male and female. God blessed them: “Prosper! Reproduce! Fill Earth! Take Charge!”
(We did a lot of that, we did our best to prosper, we reproduced, we filled the earth and took charge.) Earth now is a crowded place, and it is getting more crowded all the time. Continue Reading »
