Sometimes loving our neighbors looks as simple as picking up litter, pulling weeds, and spending a Saturday morning outdoors together.

On May 23, members of St. Paul’s and our Ecopalians gathered at Ardmore Park to help care for one of the green spaces our community shares. Working side by side, volunteers filled bags with trash, tidied the grounds, and helped make the park a more welcoming place for everyone who enjoys it.

As followers of Jesus, we believe caring for creation is one way we live out our faith. Every act of stewardship—no matter how small—is an expression of gratitude for God’s good earth and a gift to our neighbors.

Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and joined us. Together, we made our corner of Sparks a little brighter.

Thanks be to God for another reason to rejoice!
