On Saturday, March 9th we had a community breakfast and work day. This is a start of a monthly community breakfast and work day we plan to do, to build community relationships and engage the neighborhood to be proactive in their community. We were blessed to have a service team visiting with us this weekend as well. The team helped prepare breakfast and interacted with the people of the neighborhood who came to participate with us. There was a good turnout for the breakfast and everyone enjoyed the egg casseroles, muffin bread, and bacon.
After the breakfast the service team worked along side the people of the community to help build the community garden, that will be used this coming year, along with clean up the street and work on First Free Methodist Church. The garden will be open to all and will produce fresh fruits and vegetables. To prepare the garden space everyone had to pull weeds, dig trenches, even the ground, and lay cement blocks. Apart of all that hard labor some even had to mix manure and dirt together. STINKY! A lot of hard work was put in and the garden is almost ready to begin.
