Cherokee Heritage Garden Update

The Church of the Good Shepherd and the Diocese of Alabama are set to receive a United Thank Offering Grant to use in response to environmental justice issues.
The Grant is presented to the Diocese of Alabama as part of the UTO's 2022 Granting Cycle to respond to environmental issues and will go towards the development of a Cherokee Heritage Garden at the Church of the Good Shepherd.

As of July 2022, the work on this UTO Grant has been received and work is progressing on this exciting project!
