SUNDAY BULLETIN | May 4, 2025

Insights

This weekend, the leaders of the Garden Greenhouse Challenge teams will share some insights and discoveries made during the first few phases of this project. As we reflect on the ideas and opportunities, we will explore the potential paths ahead, and consider possibilities. This is an important moment for us as a community to pause, listen, and dream about the future we wish to cultivate together.


Together, we will dig into how we may continue to c0-create a community that fosters belonging-—a place where everyone feels welcome and valued. We will reflect on ways we may nurture spiritual growth, engage in creative arts, and channel our gifts to inspire and transform the world through kindness, compassion, and the love of God.


This is more than a conversation; it’s an invitation to co-create the future of The Garden. By coming together and sharing ideas, we plant seeds for sacred exploration, vibrant community, and profound impact, ensuring that The Garden continues to thrive in fulfilling its mission for years to come. See you Sunday for "Insights"!

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."


Jeremiah 29:11


Devotional Moment


May the air we breathe sweep fearlessness into us:

fearlessness on earth

fearlessness in the heavens.

May fearlessness be our guard in front and behind us.

May we lose all fear of friend or enemy.

May we not fear the known or the unknown.

May we not fear the night or the day.

This day may all the world be our friend.

   

Vedic Prayer (ancient Indo-European religion of India)
