The Power of One Word
Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • December 27, 2023
What will yours be?
The New Year is upon us, and many are busy making resolutions, focusing on making this year better than the last. A number of years ago, The Garden grew weary and tired of resolutions that don’t stick and decided to do something different. We simplified and streamlined our new year goals by suggesting you find ONE WORD to guide your year. This year we will expand on the concept to the greater congregation and community. In addition to your one word, The Garden will have a word that will help us find a ministry focus in the year to come. Join us New Year's Eve at the Garden.
