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!

The Rise of the Entrepreneurial Church: How Churches Can Fund Ministry Beyond Tithes
Entrepreneurial church models allow churches to step outside the walls of Sunday services and meet people where they live, work and gather. They open doors to relationships that lead to discipleship.
