God’s Green Earth
You are invited to tour
the church grounds
which are alive with spring.
You will find over 60 trees
in full bud, including at least
four dogwoods with their
pure white blooms.
Daffodils have already reached
their apex of beauty, now
tulips are reigning in the beds.
Massive trees serve as playgrounds
for resident squirrels and
reach for the skies over 70 feet tall.
The grass is a lush green
and well trimmed.
The phlox is spilling over into the
parking lot, radiant pinks and purples.
The 175th anniversary tree, planted at
about 8 feet tall is now 50 feet tall
after just 11 years of growth.
When you walk the grounds
think of our friend and member
Angellino Mendez, who works
diligently to keep the grounds
and parking lot clean and well trimmed.
We have one of the few green spaces
in downtown Paris and it is beautiful.
Come discover the wonders of God’s
creation right here in our own
backyard and front yard.
At the very least, drive around
the edge of the parking lot
and enjoy the hard work of
Frances Feeback and others
who have helped her through
the years.
Moving to the deeper places,
Jeff
