Thank you CitizensCommittee for NYC’s Abril Peña for leading us and for inviting A & E volunteers!
The organized, oiled and marked tools and tool bins, they scrubbed the patio chairs, moved large planters, moved trash out, they hefted soil into large planters, the scoured the garden for soil that wasn’t being used, they planted, weeded and rejuvenated spaces here. They pitched in with any task before them.
They took iniative and then offered even more help.
As decades long volunteers, we can’t tell you what a difference it makes to get this infusion of assistance. Less alone, more aware of the good will of others – it matters. Thank you.

Coming to Worship the 1000 Year Old Cherry Tree
Life is good. Goodness is its character; all else is defamation.
The Earth is good. Goodness is its nature. Nature is good. Goodness is its essence. People are also good.
Goodness is our offering; our predictable yet unfathomable flowering.
Thankful and encouraged
Infused with our peaceful inheritance, Our peaceful inheritance,
May we not despair.
