Gone Camping!

Camptown

This weekend at The Garden, we head out to the great outdoors (metaphorically) and welcome our third quarter Big Give recipient, Camp Town, a program designed to get kids out into the great outdoors. Camptown's mission is to challenge, mentor, and teach youth about life through outdoor adventure and nature programs that help build confidence, character, and hope. Programs include a Natural Wonders Day Camp, Wilderness Adventures, Service Projects, Youth Leader Adventures, Spiritual Missions, plus programs for schools and for students with differing abilities. All Camptown staff are trained wilderness guides. 


Also on Sunday, we will review a story from Genesis where God calls Abram out into the great outdoors to an adventure that would change his life forever. Join us Sunday for "Gone Camping!"

Father's Day at The Garden
By Rev. Richard Brendan June 9, 2025
Life’s storms—both external and internal—test our resilience, but they also offer an opportunity for transformation. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, this reflection explores how brokenness can lead to renewal, strength, and deeper purpose. Discover strategies for navigating challenges with mindfulness, self-care, and faith, and trust that in every fracture, light finds its way in.
