CALVARY ON MISSION
Calvary community Garden
Over the years, our community garden has expanded to meets the needs of our neighbors. Our members spend time in our garden growing food for our church and neighbors because we believe God has given us the responsibility and the privilege to care for the earth and to give away the gifts from our labors in the garden to others so that we may glorify Him. If you would like to know more on how to get involved in this ministry, email Pastor Jim.
