How does your garden grow?


The answer: only after months of planning and hard work. The community garden near Sylvania Heights Baptist Church is having a great summer season. Cucumbers, watermelon, jalapeƱos, green peppers, squash, onions, and tomatoes all have a home in the family-shared garden. From planting and trench-digging to weeding and watering, the Latino families in the area have kept a close watch over the garden during the last months, and they're finally reaping the benefits (quite literally) of their labors.


Proverbs 12:14 - From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.


Proverbs 21:5 - Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.


Luke 10:2 - He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
