THE OAKS

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."

Mark 6:31

Simple and inviting. Many gardens seem a little neglected, but when the bone structure is good, the garden can still serve as a place of retreat and spiritual renewal.

You can't tell from these pictures, but this garden sits less than 1/4 mile from bustling Interstate 20 yet it is serene enough for calming communion with our Lord.

One more thing about this location; It's a little challenging to navigate to it. You can see the church from the freeway. But the closest freeway exit is Carrier Parkway and after exiting, you have to work your way East past the restaurants and movie theater to reach the church.
