THE VIEW: <strong>DIG FOR VICTORY</strong>

About Me

Location: Long Island, New York, United States

I'm the lead pastor of a great and very unconventional church - Church At The Movies, with campuses in Ronkonkoma and Mastic, NY - and I love doing what I do. We have hundreds of fellow radicals in our congregations who, like me, are committed to doing church for the unchurched. Totally apart from my church involvement, I work a few hours a week as a Weight Loss Consultant for Weight Watchers, which I thoroughly enjoy.

DIG FOR VICTORY

During World War II when food was rationed, people were encouraged to develop their own vegetable gardens so that they could be self-sufficient. The government slogan (well, back in the UK anyway) was Dig For Victory.

By the way, I learned this from my parents and through history lessons, not first-hand!

We did a bit of digging for victory at Grace House this morning as a bunch of folks started setting up our vegetable garden.

Long Island Cares put the whole project together, provided everything we needed (including plants) and once again showed themselves to be the stellar organization they are.
