Jesus said: “Those who drink
of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty…
(It) will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.”
John 14:4 (NRSV)
Come experience the presence of God in he serenity of our oaks, butterfly garden, cemetary, meditative path and our historic building. We believe that with offering a beautiful, quiet, peaceful, prayerful space apart we can help people around us to slow down, take a deep breath and develop a relationship with God.
Because we love the word of God and have been nurtured in our study of
it, because we love God and have
been fed and filled with a love that passes all understanding, and because there
is no way we can keep all this to ourselves we want to open up our doors to
provide quiet time for others who wish to experience God anew and refresh their
spirits. Come and join us.
