SEED Church Leadership Program In Matthew 13 Jesus says the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed that grows into a tree where the birds of the air can find rest and a home in its branches.   SEED is designed to equip cross-cultural leaders who are helping to grow the church and welcome different cultures and languages to the United States.  It is specially designed for second-language learners and helps leaders serve as cultural bridges within their congregations and communities.  It is a three-year program that meets two Saturday mornings a week from September through May.  Contact Dawn Landes for more information: cdlandes@habeckerchurch.com. A group of residents at Landis Homes is inviting the public to attend a seminar by Linda Ferich. The event will take place Wednesday, September 7th from 6-8 pm in a tent located on the campus at 1001 East Oregon Road, Lititz PA.  Ferich will talk about planting native plant gardens and landscapes that reduce stormwater runoff and create environments for pollinators and other wildlife to thrive. In her program, Linda will explain the essential elements wildlife needs to survive: food, water, cover, and places to raise young while integrating sustainable gardening and landscape practices. For more information on this event, please call Dave Martin, 717-519-2691 or Nancy Parker, 717-295-7055.
