First Presbyterian Church has a "Pumpkin Patch" in the field adjacent to the building. The work and profits are being shared between the Child Development Program (nursery/daycare) and the church. Such cooperation in the "Patch" benefits both groups. In fact, cooperation is what really keeps this rebuilding ministry and so many other things in life going along well.
Teamwork in rebuilding is cooperation. One volunteer team picking up where another left off is cooperation. Think of all the other places this appears: homeowners who have been helped and who then assist others; companies and organizations who donate tools and materials, or allow employees time off to help.... One of our dreams is to plant the seeds of cooperation so that it's fruits may flourish in all the Patches of our lives and in every life we touch.
And as one of our pastor friends says almost every week at the close of the service, "May it be so for you and for me."
