Innovation: Co-Create!

Matthew Vire • January 22, 2025

Introducing The Garden Greenhouse Challenge

This Sunday, we're getting hands-on with our Garden word of the year: "Co-Create"! We'll be exploring what it means to be a truly collaborative and innovative community, and how we can all contribute our unique talents and perspectives.


To help us on this journey, we're excited to welcome Brenda Freije, one of the brilliant minds guiding our visioning process! Brenda and Carolyn will introduce us to and get us thinking about The Garden Greenhouse Challenge. Just as God created a beautiful world, we can Co-Create something amazing here at The Garden.


So what exactly does "Co-Create" mean? It's all about working together, sharing ideas, and blending our strengths to achieve something truly special. What would we like to do and become? What solutions to challenges can we imagine? What might we create when we push ourselves to think beyond standard models?


This Sunday, bring your gifts, skills, ideas, energy, love, and talents to The Garden and consider how you might share in Co-Creating our future!

A poignant blog post by Betty Brandt reflecting on a poem her father, James M. Buck, wrote to her in 1944 while stationed at Ft. McClellan, Alabama, during World War II. Betty shares her father’s love for poetry, his role as a unit scribe in Patton’s Army, and the heartfelt stories of camaraderie and survival among his fellow soldiers. Interweaving themes of love, storytelling, and faith, this post encourages readers to cherish and share their own family stories, creating connections filled with healing and sacred moments.
