"Concocted with just the right blend of tanginess, tartness, and sweetness, this versatile fruit juice syrup is the perfect topper to roasted pork loin, grilled duck breast, brie, and yes, even waffles, pound cake, and lemon sorbet."
Combing the historical significance of the Christmas Nativity with the diversity of cultures and artists that have interpreted it through the ages, "Finding Bethlehem" guides you thoughtful commentaries of theologians and collectors alike, to artist statements and the voices of "behind-thes-scenes" participants in the Festival, the book explores the spiritual and artistic meaning of the Nativity.

To volunteer at the Library, please contact Mepkin’s Librarian, Vivian Kaz.
Mepkin Abbey Public Garden Maintenance
Choose Tuesday or Thursday (or both!) | 9AM until 11AM
Work on all phases of garden maintenance. Working as a volunteer at Mepkin provides you with an opportunity to learn about the many aspects of horticulture.

Native Plants Program Opportunity
Mondays, Wednesdays, or 1st Saturday of each month | 9AM until 11:30AM
Work primarily at propagating and planting native plants in Mepkin Abbey’s “Native Plant Restoration Project.” This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the native plants growing in our part of the country. Those unable to do the heavier work of planting may help in the greenhouses.
