Forgiveness, Reconciliation and Peace

ree

The rain this past week was welcome even if it kept us from gathering in the garden. We are grateful for the change in weather reminding us of the seasons of our year. Last week Peter reported that hen egg production at the feed and be fed farm space is down due to the shorter days and cooler weather. Plants and animals all take their cues from the change in season. Light and weather patterns remind them that ti's time to behave differently.



For us in the church, shorter days indicate that we're moving out of the season of ordinary time and into the church season of Advent. This Sunday is the last Sunday in the church season called ordinary time. It's a Sunday when the assigned scripture passages from the lectionary remind us of who Jesus is. He is a peace making reconciler who offers forgiveness to all. On November 30th we'll begin the season of Advent with Pastor Connie leading us in worship and the seasonal addition of the Advent wreath as we mark the 4 Sundays leading up to Christmas. 



We hope to see you Sunday for our usual rythym.



In Faith,



Rev. Amanda

What We mean when We say All Are Welcome:

At The Garden Church we intentionally welcome all. We do this without requiring adherence to any religious belief or creed. We foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with the Divine and each other. We cherish the diversity of humanity, a diversity which includes differences in sex, age, race, ethnicity, and national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, financial means, education, and political perspective. 

 

We are also a member Congregation of the Pacific Coast Association of the Swedenborgian Church of North America
