It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.  Jeremiah 17:8 Please plan to register for the adult and children’s sessions on: 

Tree-provides shade-(hospitality)

Tree-cleans the atmosphere—(Interdependence)

Tree is home to many—it welcomes the diversity (acceptance)

Tree bears fruit-not for itself but for others (generosity)

The older the tree gets the deeper its roots go for the living water-(spiritual maturity)
