Jo Ellen at Brookdale


Jo Ellen Axthelm, Ministry Assistant/BBCDC Curriculum Director from the Seward United Methodist Church led the Church Service here at Brookdale this afternoon. Ellie played the Piano and we sang several Hymns. Jo Allen used Psalms 23 for the scripture reading and talked about the importance of Water in our lives. She spoke of a body of water at Ulysses where she gains inspiration and her son fishes. She brought along a book with full page Water pictures and read their descriptive captions. While David  expresses his confidence in the grace of God in the 23rd Psalm where it is written "He leadeth me beside the still waters", it is the 24 Psalm that has been used in Soil and Water Stewardship services. It states; "The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein." This passage has been used for many years to make the point that our soil and water resources must be used on a sustainable basis and that they are not man's to destroy. Her subject was a very appropriate topic for Earth Day.
