Berries, herbs, and fruit for the neighborhood

On Aug. 19, attendees of the Open Circle and Common Spirit congregations in the Church of the Brethren’s Northern Plains District came together to begin their joint Jesus in the Neighborhood project: an edible garden of berries, herbs, and fruit trees for the neighborhood surrounding Open Circle Church in Burnsville, Minn.

Because the two congregations applied together for a district Jesus in the Neighborhood grant, they received a total of $1,000 for the project.
