During worship Sunday morning, they heard the parable of the mustard seed. Then children, teens, parents and seniors swapped hymnals and prayer books for rakes and shovels to till the soil and plant flowers, vegetables and herbs to create a new garden beside the cloister at St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Morristown.
"I wanted to address Creation Season during the 'green time'" in the church year, explained the Rev. Melissa Hall, assistant rector and new church school director. "The best way to do that is to create a garden and watch things grow, to let the kids understand about having dominion over the earth and what that means in terms of responsibility."
