Earth Day received special attention at Tehachapi Community Congregational Church when poppies and buckwheat were planted in the peace garden. Pastor Nancy Bacon's sermon emphasized caring for God's earth. Julie St. John delivered a children's message about preserving Earth’s resources and recycling.
Children helped with placing plants around the peace pole, which was suggested by Esther Burdine a few years ago. The pole has words in various languages with prayers for peace on earth. The plants in the garden are drought tolerant, and with the onset of spring, they are renewed.
The Church, located at the corner of Green and E Streets in Tehachapi, worships each Sunday at 10:30 a.m. All people are welcome to attend services.
