Holy Cross Lutheran Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado

And so it begins.

This doesn't look like much right now, does it?  But this is the future home of our Holy Cross Community Garden.  Thanks to the hard work of Jill Archer and others, what began as a dream will become a reality.  Soon raised gardens will be built, top soil added and a fence built.  

And it all began with a dream.

"When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream." Psalm 126:1 English Standard Version

The people of Israel wondered if they would ever return from exile in Babylon.  It was only a dream.  But there is power in a dream, a god-given dream.  God promised that he would bring his people back to the land he had sworn to give them.  He kept his promise.

The dream of having a community garden is not the same as Israel's dream of freedom from captivity, but it's still a dream, one we believe God has placed on our hearts.

Not long from now people from our congregation and community will gather together digging in the dirt and watching God give the growth.  And it will happen because of a dream.
