Placing hope in God: Blessing seeds at Arthur UMC
As farmers of the land that God entrusts to our care, the United Methodist Church in Arthur, North Dakota, annually blesses the things that help feed God’s people in the world.
“I invited anybody to bring seeds, pictures of their property, farms, or tractors. They could bring the keys from their tractor. Someone brought little model tractors. We put them all up at the front. They reminded us when we were doing our blessing and talking about these tools that we use that are provided to us, it allows us to create food for others,” said Rev. Vernonia Fleming, Arthur UMC.
