Summer Reading
What are you reading this summer? Carolyn and Betty have some great recommendations! They suggest American Idolatry: How Christian Nationalism Betrays the Gospel and Threatens the Church by Andrew Whitehead, who will be speaking at North Church on September 15th. Gardeners are invited to attend, and the event will be followed by a conversation.
Another recommendation is Soul Boom: Why We Need a Spiritual Revolution by Rainn Wilson.
Discussions on both books will be part of the Together in 111 series.

The Greenhouse Challenge Continues
Richard Rohr on Jesus, Justice, and the Crisis of Shallow Spirituality
A son's reflection on the complicated legacy of fatherhood, shaped by the glow of a welding torch and the blare of Sunday sermons. Matthew Vire explores how the imperfect love and unexpected lessons from a father leave an indelible mark, leading to a deeper understanding of those who shaped us.
Father's Day at The Garden
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.
