Weeding and Harvesting - Sunday & Wednesday Evenings
Our garden is an example of the kind of hands-on local mission work that has a real impact on people’s lives. South Church believes that we are to “bloom where we are planted.” One meaning of that phrase is that we strive to make a difference right here in our own community.
Over the summer you’ll find people working in the garden most Sunday and Wednesday evenings. All of us have noticed that we always feel better after having weeded, watered, or harvested. Give it a try!
Our garden also contains a marvel of engineering—the rain-watered solar-powered eco-friendly watering system. Thanks to donations made by a neighboring business called TurboRain, the garden is watered by rain delivered by pumps powered by the sun. Watching it work is guaranteed to make you smile.
Please drop by for a tour or a visit. You meet some of the nicest people in the garden.
Ahhh Summer!
What is summer at The South Church? It's planting a garden, faithfully tending it, then delivering the fresh veggies to food pantries in Mount Prospect. It's a Memorial Day cookout and picnic on the church lawn. It's a raucous float in the 4th of July parade.
Summer is the annual canoe, bike, and camping trip in Wisconsin, open to church members and friends. It's long summer nights talking in the parking lot, or at the parsonage for fellowship around the fire pit.
It's a home grown Vacation Bible School, held in the evenings during the first week of August. We like to create our own curriculum, tailored to the talents of our pastor and teachers.
Summer at South is getting to see our young members who have been away at college, and saying bon voyage to those heading off to college for the first time.
