A CHRISTIAN GARDEN
The UK's Chelsea Flower Show will be home to a Christian garden for the first time this year. Sponsored by the Bible Society, the theme of the garden will be based on Psalm 23. A Bible Society spokesperson told The Sunday Telegraph: "We decided that Psalm 23 should be the theme because it is beautiful and speaks to everybody. We want our garden to be restorative and for people to see it and feel they can draw away from the busyness of life."

NEW TESTAMENT IN NEW LANGUAGE
Premier Christian News reports that a New Testament created in a new language has been created for the deaf and deaf-blind communities. Wycliffe Associates will hold a dedication service for its newly published Symbolic Universal Notation (SUN) New Testament on 20th February at its worldwide headquarters in Orlando, Florida. SUN is a written, concept-based language created by Wycliffe Associates that the Deaf, regardless of where they live in the world, can begin learning in less than a week.

SCHOOL FOR SENIORS
A Christian ministry in Sydney is reaching out to older people to help them age well. Wesley Mission is offering exercise, learning, and socialising via its School for Seniors. The school helps people over 55 to develop life-long passions or find a completely new one as they get older. Organisers told Vision Christian Radio that it’s never too late to learn, and exercise and socialising are a part of the key to ageing well.
