    My Garden

    Sunday School teacher and Full Gospel Church member Martin Rushton decided to make his garden on church property.

    Congregation members donated pot plants and a bath basin, which Rushton, with some help from Gardner Samson, dug into the soil and filled with plant. Rushton planted over sixty succulent plants over a period of about 10 months in the first phase.  The second phase will be another five-meter long garden with at least 100 succulents, and a fireplace against the wall.

    Rushton hopes to collect river stones on which congregants who have been baptised can write their names and put in a large pot filled with water. He laughed, saying he hoped this will encourage others to be baptised.

    The Full Gospel Church has more 100 children as members.
