Well, we have shut off the sprinklers and had them blown out. Gardeners are starting to tuck in their gardens for the winter.

They have the option to leave plants in their gardens, since they will be gardening the same plot again next year, and may choose to compost the “natural” way. Most of them are putting the majority of their garden debris into the communal pile. Consequently, our “lazy” compost pile is huge now, and my next task is to spread it out so that it breaks down more quickly.

Here is something that may be of interest - a community garden cookbook! As many of you know, over the summer I have been asking the gardeners what they prepare from the items that they grow. I now have quite a collection of delicious recipes that I have cooked, and I thought “what the heck, let’s make a cookbook!” In addition to recipes, it is jam-packed with photos, important tips on where to find ingredients, good substitutions for hard-to-find ingredients, how to alter certain recipes to suit many of our more “Western” palates (I’m still not overly fond of dried fish…), and other information you didn’t even know you didn’t know!

The cookbook, brought to you by the gardeners and caretakers of the King of Glory Community Garden, will available for sale (price not set yet) at the bazaar.

Here are the numbers through 9-30-21:

Income through sept.  $359,785

Income without Ppp loans : $279557

85 percent of budget

Expenses through Sept: $322,727

Dear members of King of Glory,

On behalf of our Days for Girls team I want to thank you for such an outpouring of support. The donations made in response to “Sunday’s for Undies” has been heartwarming and overwhelming. Also, the use of this church building for our meetings has been an incredible gift. I am so blessed to be a part of the active, generous people of this congregation. It is with heartfelt appreciation that I say thank you.

Sincerely,

Doneta Stephensen

The WELCA Holiday Bazaar is Saturday November 13, 10-4 outside on the front lawn. We will be under canopies and tents and ask that customers wear masks.

We want a safe event that brings us together and involves as many of us as possible. Marge Holmquist will be calling for volunteers.

Here are some of the ways you can be involved:

If you have canopies, tarps, tents and outside space heaters that we could borrow, please let Mary Kay Tinker or Nancy Severson know.

The proceeds from this Bazaar help our women fund projects at King of Glory and in the community. Our goal is to get as many of you involved in whatever way works for you. It feels good to be doing something with each other.
