Where Are We Now?
February 17, 2022
In the summer of 2020, The Garden joined people from across the country to take a look at racism in our communities, churches and nation. We invited guests to help us further explore what it takes to “Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.” We shared in book-studies, conversations with activists, and explored how we as a community could further our commitment to being open and inclusive to all people. On Sunday, February 20, we welcome Taylor Hall, a community activist and artist who shared in those services.
