Celebrating Spring

Kim Wilkins

Nothing marks the arrival of spring more than a tour of a beautiful garden. That is exactly what the women of Fellowship At The Ranch Church women’s group thought when they recently toured the Israel Prayer Garden in Corinth. This jewel of a garden is located at the Glory of Zion Global Sphere Center. The women were privileged to have a guided tour of the stunning gardens by one of the Master Gardeners on staff, Christopher Davidson. He did an excellent job of explaining the layout of the gardens according to the Twelve Tribes of Israel, giving both a lesson in Jewish history and tradition as well as sharing his knowledge of the flowers, shrubs, and trees in the garden. He had a captivated audience as he shared the Biblical aspects of the garden and the thought behind the planting of the foliage to fit each section of the garden. Currently, the grounds at Global Spheres Center include a community vegetable garden, a vineyard complete with a replica of an ancient winepress, a blackberry patch, a lavender field, fruit orchards, the beginnings of an agroforest, four thematic prayer “watch” gardens, and a barnyard area for the resident ducks and goats. This is definitely a secret jewel in our community and one which will be visited again and again by the women of Fellowship At The Ranch Church.

The Israel Prayer Garden tour is just one of many activities and events hosted by Fellowship At The Ranch Church. We invite you to attend our Worship Service in the Robson Ranch clubhouse on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. You are encouraged to come early (10 a.m.) for our Coffee Meet & Greet.
