  âAs the garden has been built, a strong sense of community has developed
 around it. More than 70 students, parents, teachers, neighborhood residents
 and volunteers tend to show up on community days to eat, dig and garden.â â
 Amy Rebecca Mellor and André Luiz de Oliveira Domingues, garden interns at
   the Urban Farm and Davis Bilingual Elementary School in Tucson, Ariz.

Blogs track Angola mission trip

   MALANGE, Angola (UMNS) â A mission team from the Yellowstone Annual
   (regional) Conference is on a two-week visit to the East Angola Conference

   of the Yellowstone Conference said the goal of the trip is to reconnect with
   Angola pastors and explore new ways the conferences can be in partnership
   together. The team arrived on Jan. 30. The Rev. Jeremy Scott is blogging
   about the trip at [16]http://dirtyministry.com/. Calhoun also is blogging

Congressman acts as Good Samaritan

   WASHINGTON (UMNS) â U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II, a United Methodist elder
   and a Democrat from Missouri, brought the parable of the Good Samaritan to
   life last week. CNN reported that Cleaver, while traveling from a meeting in
   his district on Jan. 27, noticed a hand waving above the weeds on the side
   of the road. He and a staff member stopped to find a woman going in and out
   of consciousness. They called 911 and stayed with her until paramedics
   arrived. "The heroes are the First Responders who rushed to save her," he
   told CNN.
