Your Congregation | Georgetown Gospel Chapel
Pastor Leroy Hedman explains how twenty years ago, the Chapel faced a decision of whether or not to pay $2,000 to repair their lawn’s sprinkler system. This made little sense to the members as they considered the pressing needs of the community, as well as their own financial needs. They decided to tear out the sprinkler system (and almost the entire lawn) and turned the church property into a large garden that could nourish the broader community. The garden’s beautiful produce is free for the taking and helps to supplement the diets of neighbors who often must decide between paying rent, paying for utilities, and buying food.
