Community Garden

An interesting Episcopal News Service story back in November highlighted a Dallas parish that started its own community garden. The small Church of Our Savior started a garden back in 2003 as a form of community outeach. The current yield is reaching the 20 ton mark, which is quite impressive.

While it may seem like an unusual choice, projects like this are a greaat way to reach out to the local community. For many people, church relevance isn’t so much about worship style as it is about community involvement. Since we have just finished celebrating the Christmas season, which is all about the Incarnation, reaching out to the community in some way is a good way to let everyone know the good news.

What types of projects is your congregation going to pursue for outreach in the coming year?
