2022 First-Quarter Garden Gives Grant Recipient

The first recipient of the Garden's Big Give in 2022 is Trinity Haven, Indiana’s first residential facility and host homes program to focus on the needs of LGBTQ young people at risk for homelessness. The organization provides safe, affirming housing for LGBTQ youth experiencing housing instability. They envision a future in which every LGBTQ youth in Indiana has safe, welcoming, and affirming housing within a caring community. Sunday, February 27, The Garden welcomes Jenni White, Executive Director of Trinity Haven. Its time to have a Haven on Earth where everyone is loved and finds God’s dwelling place (place of welcome) and its possible because God will through and with us to create Haven on Earth!

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.
