04 Dec Tending Shed
After years of planning, zoning, praying and sharing, it is so exciting to announce the VERY FIRST building on the property is being raised as we speak! While the homes will be the heart of Zeteo Community, the first building–the Tending Shed–is of more humble beginnings. As we reflected on this starting structure as a team, we were in awe over just how fitting it is. You see, in the beginning of God’s creation one of the first instructions given to mankind was to tend (Genesis 2:15). Tending is all about cultivating growth and fruitfulness. Simply put, God’s purposes are brought forth by entrusting us to tend to that which he has created. Creation begins with a call to tend.
Functionally, the Tending Shed will provide a designated space for all equipment and supplies necessary for the daily care and upkeep of the property, grounds, and facilities. As construction continues, the Tending Shed will be an essential asset to the site, both presently and in the future as we care for the landscape and surrounding structures.
Since completion is expected soon, this feels like a Christmas gift from God; a proclamation of what’s to come and a call to begin with a focus on “tending”. And at Christmastime, let us not forget when Jesus came to earth to dwell among us-Emmanuel-that angels announced his presence here on earth first and foremost to those “tending their sheep by night.” (Luke 2:8-14). Tending is a position of purpose God repeatedly draws attention to as new beginnings unfold, and Zeteo Community is no different. We look forward to all the tending to come-not just on the property but also attending to the hearts of those who will enter Zeteo Community for healing and hope for generations to come.
Special thanks to CRU (formerly Hottmann Construction) for donating the beautiful concrete floor!
