Your Life, a Watered Garden
"Your Life, a Watered Garden"
Sermon by The Rev. Ed Bacon
January 4, 2026
This sermon invites us to choose a word or image to carry into the new year, shaped by grief, hope, and deep listening. I reflect on a vision of God not as a judge, but as a faithful gardener who keeps us watered with grace, forgiveness, and compassion. Drawing from Jeremiah, personal stories, and voices shaped by religious trauma, the message reminds us that we are not broken at our core, but full of grace. As we step into 2026, we do so as beautifully weird, deeply connected people, rooted in love and always held by a God who is on our side.
