A New Year!

We are back! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Season and enjoyed their time with family and friends. We at the farm had an extremely busy but rewarding month of December. Now we have all returned back to the farm and just finished a most wonderful volunteer group week. We were blessed with the presence of St. Mary’s Life teen (Massachusetts) (youth group), Canisius College (New York), Caldwell College (New Jersey) and Manhattan College. Lots of wonderful work was done around the farm. Because we have received close to 10 inches of snow throughout the week the groups for most of the week remained around the farm and completed projects. The supply barn was organized on the inside and all the wood was sorted and stacked. The White Barn and Dining Room was re-mudded and painted! We also had the pleasure to work for Granny, Betty, Butch, and Steve!

It is so beautiful this time of year and the air is fresh. With the New Year already begun it is a time to start anew. To remember fondly the past and to look forward with great hope to the future! Although, most importantly, we should take time to enjoy the season and the people around us and fully enjoy the present!

Tomorrow we have brand new schools coming to the farm for another week and the staff here is enthused to meet the new volunteers. It is a constant reminder for us that people around the world are seeking Christ and aiming to serve him by serving others. God is good, life is good, and we are all one!

Welcome Home,
Nazareth Farm.
