The 8th season of our Garden Ministry was one of the most productive in its history. A total of 25,179 lbs. of vegetables were harvested and distributed to 21 local organizations to include food pantries, community kitchens, and home shelters. Even though the weather was cool and wet, not ideal conditions for some of the vegetables grown, this year's harvest exceeded last year's harvest by over 2,000 lbs. God continues to bless our Ministry.

A number of Asbury members, including many of the confirmation class students, participated in the Crop Walk to raise funds for the food pantry of Churches United of the Quad Cities Area.
