Soul Seeds is a place of respite and joy where seeds are planted and grow to nourish the body and spirit! 

Currently under construction, this project is the combination of efforts of OUMC, Ocracoke Alive, and Ocracoke School to create an educational space with opportunities for growing herbs, fruits, and vegetables, cooking together in our commercial kitchen, using gardening models that may be implemented in homes and yards, and to provide community composting to eliminate waste. 

This is an effort to become better stewards of creation and one another. 

Garden harvests support individuals, The Bread of Life Food Pantry, as well as the Community Lunches Program for homebound members. 

In addition to the food garden, there is an area for prayer, contemplation, and respite that is being constructed. 

These adjoining areas can be accessed from the church lawn or via a walking path from Howard Street. Garden areas also connect to Stella Maris Catholic Chapel's garden of the Blessed Mother Mary.

Come find sanctuary and nourishment in our Soul Seeds garden!
