Rev. Z joins a distinguished roster of ATHENA Leadership Award winners, many of whom were present for the luncheon.
Rev. Z was the woman of the hour Wednesday, as she received the 2021 ATHENA Leadership Award presented by the Delaware County Chamber of Commerce. Her comments centered on the question “Why Am I Here” and she noted:
*The Bible was central in our family, the book that gave us direction for our lives.
*I heard a call to help families, to be part of a community. There is a responsibility that goes with it.
*We are inextricably linked.
*We cannot leave the work unfinished.

There’s so much to learn every season in the Chester Eastside – St. Paul’s Community Garden. In addition to planting, harvesting and trying different fruits and veggies, the children studied insects, recorded their findings in journals and planted a pollinator garden. #communitygarden #pollinatorgarden #insects #journals #somuchfun #chestereastside
Our award-winning community garden has received another accolade.

Look what garden is ranked fifth in the latest report of the 2,600 community distribution sites registered with the PHS : Pennsylvania Horticultural Society Harvest Team program.

Is there anything Mrs. Redd can’t do?
