St. Mark Community Garden News
Matthew 20:25-28 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,  and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." 
Won’t you consider helping with the St. Mark Community Garden?

WATCH OUR GARDEN
Every spring St. Mark plants a garden full of vegetables and fruit. Everything planted is donated by the members of St. Mark. When grown, these fruits and vegetables are available to the church family and needy families within the community.

Special thanks is extended to Brian Zukowski who tirelessly brings compost and straw whenever it is requested.

We need your help! Volunteers are needed to pick veggies on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. We need people to simply drop off the produce at the Worth Methodist Church just 5 blocks away. Deliveries can be made Monday night or Tuesday mornings, whichever you choose. 
Due to last year’s success, we  will triple our tomato, pepper and cucumber crops. Our intent is to out-do last years bounty. Last year we provided veggies to ourselves, the food pantry and needy families that visited. Please consider joining the St. Mark Garden group in continuing the work that Jesus directed us to do. 
If you make the choice to help, harvest dates will begin early August. The harvest period lasts approximately 4-6 weeks.
Please consider giving just ONE day to serve others.
