When there is food shopping to be done for Mustard Seed, we send out a small army to Sam’s Club to clean out the aisles.

Fruit Loops and Captain Crunch

Pick up some frozen stuff too.

Not living on bread alone.

Pulling out the freight hauler.

Let's head to the cars.

Extra ballast makes the cart ride smoother and faster.

The truck is filled up.

And the first car.

And the second car.
And then it’s back to the Mustard Seed house for unloading.

A very popular attraction at the Mustard Seed house is our bicycle path. At any given time of the day, it is not unusual to see several kids spinning around on their bicycles. But, in time, the path had become broken up and rough to ride.
We were blessed earlier this summer by a substantial gift from the Congregation of the Sisters of the Divine Compassion of a new and expanded bike path. The gift was to commemorate our 20th year, as well as the 125th year of the Divine Compassion Sisters.



Pete and his work crew work on smoothing and leveling the new path.

A couple of kids riding the path (although this photo was taken before the new repaving).

Something tells me it’s all happening at the zoo;
I do believe it; I do believe it’s true.


It’s a light and tumble journey from the East Side to the Park;
Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo.


The monkeys stand for honestly, giraffes are insincere;
and the elephants are kindly but they’re dumb.


You can take the crosstown bus if it’s raining or it’s cold;
and the animals will love it if you do.

On Wednesday, July 28, 10 Mustard Seed kids had an afternoon of kayaking on Lake Waywayanda. They demonstrated rather adept skills, for land lubbers. Another fine Mustard Seed event.






Stand Navy down the field, sails set to the sky.
We’ll never change our course, so Army you steer shy-y-y-y.
Roll up the score, Navy, Anchors Aweigh.
Sail, Navy down the field and sink the Army, sink the Army grey.
