On Saturday, August 8, seventeen members of St. Paul participated in
a gleaning project. The gleaning of the fields after the farmer has
harvested the first fruits is a Biblical practice, and is used today as
a way of feeding the hungry. This particular gleaning was coordinated
by the Baltimore Area Gleaning Network and Gloria Luster. |

We traveled by car to the Parker Farm in Clinton, Maryland. After
getting instructions and praying, we headed out into a cucumber field to
glean. We gleaned from about 9:30-12:00 and gathered 5,000 pounds
of cucumbers. It was amazing to see how many left-overs there were.
The field had been harvested twice by the farmer and had previously been
gleaned once. The harvest was truly plentiful. We say first hand the abundance
of God's blessings.

There must be a cucumber here somewhere?

I can hold just a few more. |

So many cucumbers?

I like doing this. |
