Desert Garden Gleaners picked nearly 9 tons of citrus!

Desert Garden Gleaners picked nearly 9 tons of citrus!

This year (2021) beginning with the last Thursday of January and continuing for eight weeks, Desert Garden’s Gleaning Ministry Team was able to pick and provide much more citrus for St. Mary’s Food Bank. During this period twenty-one volunteers helped with the gleaning putting in 200 hours of time. Eighty-six trees were gleaned providing 17,720 pounds of citrus for the food bank, who then distributed that citrus to families in need. We are grateful to St. Mary’s for providing all the equipment to be successful in this effort.

Congratulations to First Congregational Albuquerque's Faith Formation Youth on completing their Justice Mural!

Congratulations to First Congregational Albuquerque's Faith Formation Youth on completing their Justice Mural!

“This collaborative project began in the summer of 2020. Our youth, led by muralist Lauryn Mills-Bohannon, designed and co-painted our newest community art installation. Members of our Faith Formation youth group were asked to come up with a meaningful quote to add to the social justice mural and paint their quote inside the Lego inspired wall. Youth participated throughout the last several months by designing, planning, and painting while maintaining social distance. This project ties together our youth’s desire to learn about and take action to promote justice! The project was Co-Directed by Kelli Bohannon and Paul Hook. Please drive by the Southwest corner of the church on Lomas for the full experience.” See the photos in the article!
