Early summer is the perfect time to plant fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Designate a small site close to your church — either a spot in the church lawn or a corner of the community park (get permission, of course) — for a community garden. Choose plants that thrive in your particular area, and be sure to recruit church members to help water, weed, and tend the garden. Invite surrounding neighbors to an afternoon of planting seeds and decorating plant tags. At the end of the season, host a harvest party and watch the neighbors reap the rewards of their hard work!

“Here was a people group that wasn’t being served by any form of chaplaincy like many major sports have,” says Pastor Joshua Boyd, of the local MMA community. “And they needed care just like anyone else.”
Perfectly Imperfect Churches
Most of the great breakthroughs and innovative ideas are a result of problems being viewed not as a problem to solve, but an opportunity to make things better.
