Tending the garden — the connection of what it means to care for creation with what it means to take care of our neighbors is nearly synonymous.

We need each other!

So thankful for a group of Conradina Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society volunteers who came to help tend our Community Food Forest in Melbourne at the Nazarene Community Center, today.

A vision has grown into fruition — today was the first planting day at the Nazarene Community Food Forest.

As volunteers from Conradina Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society and Melbourne First Church of the Nazarene gathered to plant native ground cover, guava trees, papaya, mango and cranberry hibiscus, Pastor Joel Tooley prayed this blessing:

“Lord God — Gardener of creation and Giver of every good thing,
Bless this community garden and all who will labor here.

Bless the hands that dig and plant,
The seeds buried in hope,
And the friendships that will grow alongside the harvest.

May this ground become a place of nourishment and welcome—
Where strangers become neighbors,
Where the hungry are fed with dignity,
And where Your goodness is seen in simple acts of shared labor and care.

Send sun and rain in their season.
Protect what is planted here.
And as these plants take root in the earth,
May our lives take deeper root in love, justice, gratitude, and peace.

We ask Your blessing here;
it is in Your Holy name — the One
who makes all things new, that we pray,

Amen.

“Welcoming the Stranger: Thinking Biblically About Immigration” is a shared community conversation for churches and neighbors who want to thoughtfully engage one of the most important and complex issues facing our communities today.

Hosted at Resurrection Grace Methodist Church in Melbourne and facilitated in partnership with friends from Melbourne First Church of the Nazarene, Mosaic Compassion and the National Immigration Forum, this event will explore biblical themes of justice, compassion, law, hospitality, and human dignity through respectful conversation and practical discussion.

We believe meaningful conversations happen best around the table with a shared meal. The church will provide chicken, and participants are encouraged (though not required) to bring a side dish to share.

This is a free, multi-church community event open to pastors, ministry leaders, students, and community members.

Date: Wednesday, June 24
Time: 5:30pm–7:30pm
Location: Resurrection Grace Methodist Church
110 E. New Haven Ave., Melbourne, FL

Registration is free!

Ever feel like you’re being asked to choose sides? Can I care about laws and still care deeply about people? Is compassion weakness or something stronger? What does a both/and approach actually look like?

You’re not alone. Women of Welcome is a space for nuance, not noise.

We believe caring about border security and caring about people are not competing values. They can coexist. We reject false choices. We seek truth in Scripture. We hold tension with humility.

This isn’t about picking a side. It’s about reflecting the heart of God. If you’ve been looking for a more thoughtful, faithful way forward… you just found it.

Tell us: What’s the either/or you are hearing in your church and struggling with? How can we support you in your journey of finding a better way forward?

Then, share this post with a church leader you want to invite into this conversation with you.
