Welcome to The Garden and Happy Thanksgiving!

Greetings Programs!

Welcome to our adventure in creating community and our first effort into the blogging world.  You can find out more about us by visiting our website http://gardensourcesc.org.  If you have questions, please feel free to leave a message there in the guestbook, or comment here.

Thanksgiving is upon us, and it being the holiday season, we are celebrating in lieu of a more formal fellowship service.  Our celebration will be tomorrow, November 22nd, anytime after 3 PM.  This will be at the home of a member, so if you are interested, please contact us thru our website for more information on the location and how to contact us.

Sadly, we do not currently have a brick-and-mortar presence, but we are very small (15 active members) and have plenty of room to grow.  We enjoy each other's homes and thus have a "floating community" of sorts.  This can make it a challenge to get the word out to more people who may want to join us; so, as Community Coordinator, I'm taking this opportunity to spread the word in the electronic world.

After Thanksgiving, upcoming Garden-specific events include our next Saturday Social on December 1st at 7 PM and a Yule Celebration on December 22nd after 4 PM.  We are trying to have socials on every Saturday that we are able, and I will update those dates here.  Our next Fellowship Service will be in January, date yet to be determined, and our next Council meeting will be December 9th at 2:30 PM.  Confused yet?

We are not trying to replace anyone's specific path of spirituality, but wish to enhance their community.  That is really hard to explain in just a few words, but we try to schedule events that generally don't conflict with most people's work schedules or religious observances.  Therefore, many activities take place on Sunday afternoons or evenings.

Until next time, have a blessed evening and a joyful day of Thanksgiving with those you love!
