From the Director --
MorningStar is Planting Trees!!!
Through the generosity of Diaz Farms and O'Leary-Richards Design, MonringStar has plans underway to be landscaped!  Though plans are only conceptual right now, Kathy O'Leary-Richards, Landscape Architect and Nick Diaz of Diaz Farms have put some exciting ideas together to bring about a variety of beautiful prayer gardens joined together by a meandering path throughout the property. 
 
Both Nick Diaz and Kathy O'Leary-Richards are involved at MorningStar as both retreatants and volunteers.  Nick is an active Emmaus brother with the St. Louis Men's Emmaus and has volunteered at MorningStar in a special work project last year in which the St. Louis men's Emmaus team established the Emmaus Rose garden, the landscaping in front of the administrative offices, and the Dave Marley Fountain.  Kathy has attended numerous MorningStar programs over the past five years and currently also serves as a member of MorningStar's Advisory Council.
 
What a gift MorningStar has in both Kathy O'Leary-Richards and Nick Diaz!  Please join us in prayer that our Lord will bless and assist us in our efforts to bring about the beautification of His land at MorningStar and that the land itself would invite people, by how it's landscaped, to become closer to Him!
 
Amen

In Jesus, our Bright MorningStar,
Sue S. DeFerrari
