Social Justice Gardens to Be Focus at FUMC on May 26

WESTFIELD — The gardens of the First United Methodist Church of Westfield (FUMC) are designed not only to be beautiful but spiritual. FUMC describes them as “a part of our mission to love God and love everyone, to commit to follow Jesus in word and action and to care for our community and congregation by sowing seeds of grace, love and joy.”

In celebration of Peace with Justice Sunday on May 26, the church’s Social Justice Committee will unveil its newly-refurbished and interactive social-justice garden signs. Attendees are welcome to take a closer look at the church gardens and grounds to find a moment of peace, to rejoice in God’s creation, or to consider how to put one’s love into action.

“Our gardens provide food for the hungry, a space to pray and reflect, a place to mourn, and ideas of how we can better care for God’s creation,” the church noted in a statement.

The First United Methodist Church is located at 1 East Broad Street, Westfield. For complete information about the church, visit fumcwestfield.org.
