Thank you Dean Robert for everything you gave to us, we have these videos and will cherish them always. But we still will miss you so. God help us as we mourn , especially his friends, familiy and loved ones. On to Glory, Dean Robert, God thank you for blessing us with this wonderful soul as he now joins you and Jesus in his Heavenly home. I can hear Heaven applaud his beautiful deeds, service, and life💔
Dean Robert, you meant so much to me and the entire garden congregation. I continue to watch your morning prayer videos because I take away something meaningful every time. You always had valuable lessons to teach us that we'll now carry with us forever. I was lucky to meet you at St.Bart's and shake your hand, and I will treasure that memory always. May God watch over your soul in eternal peace. Prayers for Fletcher and the family at this very difficult time.
I hold such gratitude to Dean Robert Willis, his intelligence & gentleness touched the heart of many. You will be forever remembered in Canterbury. Rest in Peace. 🙏
Good morning to you both. What a wonderful setting for morning prayer still waters,whispering trees with outstretched branches reaching out for freshness to breathe out the leaves of autumn healing.Birds to sing their choral grace. Delivering the blessings of the day with the tranquility of Our Lord.Freshness of spirit to walk the way of the cross with joy and peace and love.Amen Thankyou for a gentle blessing
Dearest Fletcher and DR, thank you so much for these short 'abroad' MPs. It feels like your ministry has come full circle, but still in full bloom. You've returned to the essence of MP, which started it all.❤ Love and Prayers from Pembrokeshire 🏴. 🌻Christine🐈⬛
Thank you Dean Robert for this beautiful Morning Prayer and reading , on St. Luke's Day🙏 It is indeed a very beautiful Gospel reading and one that always makes the heart rejoice 🙏🕊️🕯️
Thank-you Dean Robert and Fletcher for these morning prayers, and readings from Luke which have been very special leading up to today St Lukes day and , today, what a beautiful setting with the trees ,the bird song, the sunshine, and the flowing water I couldn't help noticing that The Garden Congregation has 96.7k subscribers it would be wonderful to reach 100k love and God Bless to you both from Joanne and Chris.xx ❤
It’s a privilege to share Dean Robert with the world. We need his guidance and encouragement now more than ever. We Garden Congregants are so fortunate! 🌈
Thank you so much to you both for these Luke videos. Very peaceful and insightful. Always learning new things from Dean Robert -- lots to meditate on. Bless you 🙏
Grace and peace to you Both from an exquisite St Luke's little summer here in Minnesota! ✌️ my joy in these reflections is profound... as is my gratitude 🙏 💜🍁🍂
Thank you so much for these shorts leading The Festival of St. Luke I loved listening to Robert Willis calm voice& watching Fletchers wonderful photography👏🙏
It has taken me many days to get over the shock of your passing from this life. Your messages have always seemed to open the door and bring God into our lives so gently and beautifully.
This journey through Luke has been a great blessing, as has the accompanying scenery as beautifully filmed by Fletcher. May God bless you both. Thanks for everything.
Hi Jane, from our third biggest congregation (we think thanks to our dear Bishop Rose!). Hoping the horrible storms have not harming your beautiful island too much!? Our very best wishes, f and dr xx
I’m so thankful for the beautiful gifts that Dean Robert gave to us! His teaching was so inspiring and taught us to see Jesus as we walked with him through the scriptures day by day. My husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet Dean Robert and Fletcher at Christ Church Cathedral in Houston Texas in July. What a blessing it was to see him in person and shake hands with him. We will miss him dearly! We continue to watch his videos on the Garden Congregation website and in this way he will always be with us. Thank you Fletcher for all you contributed to the lovely props and views of nature! May the Lord bless you as you continue your pilgrimage here on earth and toward your everlasting home in heaven.
Beautiful trees and their reflection in the river on earth echo in heaven. Thank you for Dean Robert's reflection on St.Luke's day as well as Fletcher's lovely video!
I came across this poem by Linda Marshall that I thought you might enjoy this morning: Trees standing on a riverbank: When you see trees in all their glory the flowing locks of green the branches swaying in the wind rooted in earth firm in faith and loyalty by the side of a river how can you not tell God is alive and in them both? the living water of the river flows and nourishes the sheltering trees that shade and crowd in upon us giving fruit and blossom to feed us keep us cool or warm shelter us from the rain and remind us of His glory in every aspect of their lives
Thinking of you, Fletcher, as you are dealing with the loss of your love in this life. Dean Robert gave thanks for those whom we have lost in this video. We are praying for you as you take Dean Robert home. We look forward to the service from Salisbury Cathedral, if possible. We are all missing Dean Robert so much too.May God keep , Fletcher,you in the Palm of His Hand.
Ohhhhh beautiful Kansas! How we loved the stunning countryside of your beautiful state, our memories are full of the sunflowers for which you state is called! Our best wishes, f and dr xx
Very much like fire? And wind? And earth too I guess - it feeds and provides foundation but in moving can also destroy. I think you are right but perhaps it is in this duality that it makes the elements so fascinating and alluring - perhaps a little like God? The restraint and choice to be benevolent and generous from one so powerful is really moving I find esp in a time when so many with power abuse it so dreadfully?
Thanks again for your answer about the power of water, wind and fire 😊. Our part of France is currently recovering from severe flooding...we are grateful is now over...(At least we hope 🙏). The settings you choose are always so beautiful!!🍂
From the Land of the long white cloud, I send grateful thanks to you, Dean Robert and Fletcher, for these morning devotions that were so sorely missed for the past while. Every blessing to you both. Margaret.
Hi there, thank you so much for asking. Our daily ministry to members both virtually and in person never ceased but obviously we had to stop broadcasting our daily services when DR was removed from office but we have made longer films and of course I did my daily travelogue for about 7 months through the earlier part of this year but we are trying to find a new format which allows for a simplified version to be filmed and uploaded (our schedules do not have enough space in them when we are travelling for work - which has been over 8 months already this year - to allow me to edit and upload, plus the need of good wifi and the difficulty of editing on a small laptop screen - the work after the filming takes approx 4-5 hours on a regular daily broadcast, not incl prep, and sometimes over 20 hours for the longer films). This format is a compromise as there are no inserts or music but folk seem to like them and then we hope still to make longer ones alongside. Thank you for getting in touch and for your interest and encouragement!! Fx
Hello ! Didn t you use this Ezekiel reading some years ago in England while commenting about water and new beginning ? I love it...and I had taken notes😊. Thank you.

I came across this poem by Linda Marshall that I thought you might enjoy this morning:
Trees standing on a riverbank:
When you see
trees in all their glory
the flowing locks of green
the branches swaying in the wind
rooted in earth
firm in faith and loyalty
by the side of a river
how can you not tell
God is alive and in them both?
the living water of the river
flows and nourishes the sheltering trees
that shade and crowd in upon us
giving fruit and blossom
to feed us keep us cool or warm
shelter us from the rain
and remind us of His glory
in every aspect of their lives
@@GardenCongregation Thank you for sharing Linda's poem! I love it very much 😊
Thank you so much for these beautiful prayers
Did not our hearts burn within us as we walked along the pilgrimage road...& how he opened to us the scriptures ❤💜💙💔💔
Thank You! Wonderful Peace.🙏💚💛

Thank you from Topeka Kansas.

How strange and exciting that water should be such a benevolent, healing force and could have such a destructive power in other circumstances !
Very much like fire? And wind? And earth too I guess - it feeds and provides foundation but in moving can also destroy. I think you are right but perhaps it is in this duality that it makes the elements so fascinating and alluring - perhaps a little like God? The restraint and choice to be benevolent and generous from one so powerful is really moving I find esp in a time when so many with power abuse it so dreadfully?
I quite like water too😂...I love the huge branches behind which we guess the rest of the landscape!
Thanks again for your answer about the power of water, wind and fire 😊. Our part of France is currently recovering from severe flooding...we are grateful is now over...(At least we hope 🙏). The settings you choose are always so beautiful!!🍂
@@brigittebeche4117 know that our prayers are for you and your beautiful region of that most precious country! 🙏🏻
Thank you Dean Robert
RIP, Robert! May God comfort you, Fletcher!
From the Land of the long white cloud, I send grateful thanks to you, Dean Robert and Fletcher, for these morning devotions that were so sorely missed for the past while. Every blessing to you both. Margaret.

Thank you for your quick response and clarification .
@@GardenCongregation Thank you Fletcher for the above clarification
Hello ! Didn t you use this Ezekiel reading some years ago in England while commenting about water and new beginning ? I love it...and I had taken notes😊. Thank you.
We absolutely did, well remembered! If memory serves when we were sitting next to my little stream in the orchard with the cherry trees overhead?
@@GardenCongregation oh yes indeed I quite remember! You often refer to the water and it's symbolic aspects in the Bible ☺️
I fear that's usually my fault when setting the scene / the topic for the day as i am such a water-lover! @@brigittebeche4117
