    • A Place to Rest Your Thirst


      The I Thirst Garden adorns the main entryway of our parish campus, enabling all to make the transition from the noisy world outside into the sacred space of the church. It welcomes the full range of people who pass through our doors—those who feel stretched thin or spiritually dry, those who are quietly searching for something more, and those who have been faithfully seeking Christ for many years.

      People arrive carrying different stories. Some longing for peace or clarity. Some returning after a long time away. Some unsure how to pray or where to begin, and many who come week after week with a deep desire to grow, to be renewed, and to stay close to the Lord.

      The I Thirst Garden is a gentle pause for all of them. Here, the beauty and stillness invite you to slow down, breathe, and let your heart settle. It’s a space where the spiritually curious can take a first step, where the weary can rest, and where the devoted can deepen their encounter with the One who knows their thirst.

      Before you even enter the church, the garden offers a quiet reminder: Jesus sees your longing—whether it is new, returning, or lifelong—and He welcomes you here, just as you are.
    • Come Tend the I Thirst Garden

      As the seasons turn, we invite you to help tend the I Thirst Garden—our parish’s quiet threshold between the noise of daily life and the peace of Christ’s presence.

      This ministry cares for the garden through Spring preparation and planting, Summer watering and maintenance, and Autumn clean‑up and care.

      Whether you can offer an hour, a morning, or a season, your hands help create a space where every person who arrives at our parish can breathe, slow down, and feel welcomed.

      As we work the soil together, may our own hearts awaken to the love of Jesus, who meets us in beauty, simplicity, and service.

      If you’d like to join the I Thirst Garden team, we’d be grateful to have you.
