Serving with Prickly Pear

This last Sunday, Headwaters partnered with the Prickly Pear Land Trust to do some trail work in Helena. On the fourth Sunday of the month we meet briefly at ExplorationWorks and then head out to serve in the community. Last month we were at God's Love, the local homeless shelter, and in February we partnered with Helena Food Share for a food drive at Safeway.

The forecast for Sunday was a bit ominous--snow in the early morning followed by rain. But the precipitation held off for a day and we met as planned. After meeting for a brief time of prayer, we headed out to the Nob Hill area where the hillside has been scarred by jeep tracks. We transplanted bunch grass from the lusher areas into the scarred tracks, the idea being to help stem erosion and restore the aesthetics of the hillside.

It was great to see kids and adults working together, and even visitors to Headwaters joined in on the work. Next month we'll be serving at the YWCA downtown.
