Orchard Stewards will begin Saturday, April 5. Sign up for our season of on-farm faith formation in the comments.

02/21/2025

Beginning Saturday, April 5:

Give your faith (literal) roots this year as an ORCHARD STEWARD at Good Courage Farm. Every FIRST SATURDAY of the month, Orchard Stewards gather on a regenerative fruit farm in Hutchinson to sing, study scripture, break bread, and learn the art of tending fruit trees. The fruits of our labor will feed those who hunger through our partnerships with First Nations Kitchen, Casa Maria, and McLeod Emergency Food Shelf.

We'll dig into sacred texts about seeds, roots, pruning, and fruit that lasts. You'll learn about mulching, composting, pruning, harvesting and pressing cider.

Wassail the Orchards tomorrow, Saturday, January 4!

DRESS FOR THE WEATHER. This gathering is entirely outdoors. There will be popcorn and warm beverages, but you’ll still want boots and mittens to keep yourself warm. RSVPs are helpful! Kids and youth are very welcome. PLEASE CARPOOL as you’re able to help with our limited winter parking space.

The Gifts of Christmas ‐ Chicken Edition!

Feast of the Holy Innocents - December 28, 2024

On this day of mournful remembrance amidst the bright Christmas season, the Church recalls to mind the infants killed by Herod's rage. We weep with Rachel, with the mothers in Bethlehem this war-torn night, and with every grieving parent. We pray for the 14,500 innocent children who have been killed in Gaza, and for their families.

We who worship the Prince of Peace must call for peace everywhere. Let there be a humanitarian ceasefire in the Holy Land now. Let every child in the terrible path of bombs and bullets be shielded by God's peace. May that peace be made real in our actions.
