Today, the Mountain Chapel Garden Ministry took a small but landmark step toward making an impact for Christ's Kingdom. Over the past several days we have been harvesting crooked neck squash from our organic raised bed garden. We were able to harvest approximately thirty nice sized squash (about 10lbs), and delivered them to Urban Ministry, Inc., where they will go to feed the needy. This is big day for the Garden Ministry, as we continue on our mission of providing fresh organic vegetables to those in need. "So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." 1 Corrinthians 3:7.
"Urban Ministry is the inner city mission of the United Methodist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Our mission is to serve poor and low-income persons in the Birmingham area with programs of compassion and wholeness. Compassion programs address an immediate human need while wholeness programs address a long-term human need. Although Urban Ministry maintains its historic identity as a faith-based organization all of our programs are offered on a completely non-sectarian basis." source: Urban Ministry web site
