Liturgy – Rhythms
Garet reflected on the Parish’s rhythms and why they matter, emphasizing that faith becomes real through lived action and how we treat others. He described how the church’s Sunday format—balanced between singing, teaching, and practice—intentionally cultivates inclusion based on how people best learn. He shared personal stories about how service, prayer, gratitude, and community have shaped him, and he spoke honestly about the painful experiences and systemic injustices that helped form the Parish’s values, especially around gender and inclusion. Ultimately, he reminded the community that they are ordinary, flawed people shaped by scars, yet called to embody Jesus’ simple command to love God and love their neighbor, living in a way that makes others curious about the hope they carry.
