Listening again to this video, on DR’s mother’s birthday, it is ironic that DR’s mother died suddenly of a heart attack at age 72. Dr’s sudden death from a heart attack on Oct 22 is devastating to us but allowed him through God’s grace to reunite with his beloved mother.
The world is a better place because of Dean Robert & Fletcher. I always receive such a beautiful sense of peace after watching your broadcasts. I am immensely grateful to you both. 🙏❤️ 🌎 🕊
A clerk at a grocery in Egg Harbor Wisconsin first told me about Dean Robert’s Garden Congregation. The conversation started when she remarked about my collar and I told her I was an Anglican priest. She asked me if I was aware of the Garden Congregation. I saw her again yesterday and she told me about these two new Daily Office broadcasts. God had to have prompted the conversation. What a blessing to me. Thank you Dean Robert. I pray somehow you continue. Jim+
The Lord does indeed work in mysterious ways - we shall almost be in Egg Harbor ourselves in a few weeks' and wish we had an extra day to allow for us to travel up from Chicago! It looks like a wonderful place! The Holy Nativity looks really beautiful, is this your church? Thank you for reaching out!
Dear Dean Robert and Fletcher, It has been such a delight spending this Easter season travelling and praying with you. I do hope you will continue your ministry with us in whatever way seems good to you. Heartfelt blessings to you both. Godspeed!
Dean Robert and Fletcher, I stand in awe of your determination to give us one final Morning Prayer on your departure day! In spite of storms, Nor’Easters, solar eclipse’s and wild coyotes, you persevered. We are the fortunate recipients! Many blessings and safe travels back to your home. ❤
Thank you for this very special time together. What a wonderful setting for Morning Prayer. I also live on the New England coast and there’s simply nothing more beautiful. God Bless you both on your journey home.
I want to add my HUGE THANKS to you, DeanRobert and Fletcher, for once more sharing your experiences, wisdom, and inspiring reflections, as well as the beautiful glimpses of your life and travels. I had been rewatching the Garden Congregation morning prayers from 2020 onwards, because I missed it so much. Then I discovered your recent recordings and blog and am so excited! 😊. I hope you will be able to continue once in a while at least. It is truly an inspiration and treasured beyond measure. With many thanks and blessings to you both. Kate (from BC,Canada)
😮Hello to you by the shoreline in upstate NY. I wanted to see that part of the sea again, such a beautiful way of healing, watching the rippling surgface, there is nothing like it. A simple part of our healing. Thank you for those words of wisdom. May all of us know this. Cynthia
Love Dean Robert and Fletcher. We owe them so much for bringing Christ into our homes during Lockdown. And please do not stop. I love the lord and always
Thank you once again for gracing all of us with these lovely Morning Prayers. Godspeed & safe travels. We so look forward with great anticipation to the next installment. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I take heart in the words of DR, "until we meet again".... and pray that this Ministry to the Garden Congregation throughout the world will continue wherever you find yourselves .... 🙏
Thank you for sharing a remembrance of your mother, and a thought of what she might say to you. It is amazing how vivid those we've lost can be in certain moments, especially those we lost too soon. These broadcasts have helped open me to that over these past years, immeasurably.
Thank you both for these wonderful morning and evening prayers (and F, for your interesting posts on your journey and the problems of filming etc). What a wonderful surprise to see these. Your gift to the world of these videos (and the Canterbury ones) is the most wonderful help and comfort to many thousands around the world. I don’t think you realise how you have influenced and strengthened the faith of many. God bless you both. I hope we have many more GC morning prayers in the years to come, God willing.
Thank you so much for starting again in a new place, by a shoreline, despite the previous difficulties. It was fascinating to watch the beach being cleared, but then to get right back to focusing on the Lord, and on His love for Peter after he denied his Lord. We are all so grateful that you strive to make our morning prayers such a time of peaceful blessing, and always with a backdrop that feeds all the senses. It brings a dimension of clarity and abundance to the teaching, that isn’t available to those of us stuck at home. Thank you Dean Robert and the wonderful Fletcher, for all the rich and interesting places you take us to - no aspect is overlooked and you place each day’s recording with such care. It feeds each of my senses, and brings me closer to God. Morning Prayer with the Garden Congregation is one thing I’ll be grateful to COVID for!!! There aren’t very many 😂 God bless you and safe journey home. ❤
You reminded us this Easter season of how deeply you both live in our hearts. Personally, I owe so much to the miracle of your daily COVID ministry. This U.S. Easter Garden Congregation interlude has been a joy. Please give Lily, Tiger and Leo and all the barn and woodland creatures near your “back home” nest. Grateful thanks to Cristoph and Martin for caring for them during your travels. ❤Nini
Thank you Dean Robert and Fletcher, what a beautiful setting for morning prayer. We truly give thanks to God for all your love and kindness. We enjoyed watching all your videos during your visit to our country. Thank you so very much.
A wonderful Morning Prayer. Thank you Dean Robert; you never let anything stop you from bringing us gentle and wise words 🙏 " Come and have breakfast" Such beautiful words. I hope you both had comfortable flights albeit that they were traveled apart 🙏🕊️🕯️ Take some rest, Dean Robert and Fletcher 🙏
Thank-you Dean Robert and Fletcher I hope you will have time to rest when you are back home Thank-you for sharing your travels in blogs ,photos , sermons , talks morning and evening prayer.Looking forward to seeing you both on youtube next time sending love to you both and Tiger Lily and Leo❤
Dear Dean Robert and Fletcher, thank you very much for another lovely service. Dean Robert, your mother sounds like a good and lovely woman. You certainly turned out quite well! I always blame the parents. May God bless you and keep you. Amen
Just popped in and saw your final farewell from America.How divine.What a setting of sheer tranquil bliss apart from a coyote -bless -a mythical creature on a spiritual journey too! Wonderful sea shells along the shore with the slow waters warming the sand with the sermon of 'the fishers of men' how apt a visionary scene with Jesus and the disciples with great love.Tranquility to say the least. God bless and thankyou both
Thank you both for having gone through the troubles to make this video prior to your flight! What a cherished time you have given to your “sheep”, praise to the Lord! Have a blessed journey home, and hope to see you again on TH-cam. ❤🙏
Thank you for your remembrance of your mother. I think those of us who had godly mothers appreciate them and miss them more and more as the years go by.
Thank you both for another quietly excellent video. We always learn something from you and today was no exception. Best wishes and welcome back, Adrian and Janette.
Thank you Dean Robert and Fletcher to continuing to shepherd your garden flock both through your travels in US and your life in U.K. and Spain. Your presence lifts my spirit. Thanks be to God through our Risen Lord🐑💒❤🔥🙏🏼
It makes me so happy that Dean Robert and Fletcher are continuing their Garden Congregation meditation vocation whenever they have the time. Always uplifting and always appreciated!
Oh I am So Glad I found you in real time. Absolutely love that you continue this Morning Prayer time. I surely need it. I pray for you both as well. Safe travel. ❤❤😊😊
I found this broadcast this evening and was hugely gratified. It was inspired of you both to site this Morning Prayer with its beachside text beside the sea, with the constant sound of the waves as a sonic backdrop. Please don’t give up even if take-up is low. Many GC members may not yet know that you are making such efforts to broadcast again. I for one am enormously grateful, and I also had a wonderful Easter largely because I followed your route and watched the services from St Thomas Fifth Avenue, which I found moving and profoundly beautiful. I wish DR could find the time to publish a book of his sermons, by the way. Please stroke the cats for me. I love cats even more than I love tea, and that’s saying something!
Thank you for your time, the wisdom and God’s word you have shared with us, while visiting and ministering in the United States! I only wish I could have heard you minister in person and could have had a chance to tell you what the Garden Congregation has meant to me! I have all the words and stories in my heart and know that the Lord will bless you for all your gracious giving of and Fletcher, as well! Much love from Louisiana followers to you both. We wait in prayer for a “next time.”🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
Thank you Dean Emeritus Robert Willis for giving us a lovely service of Morning Prayer. We have coyotes that arrive at our lobby door looking for food. Thanks for "The Venite.". I love those words!
What a Delightful Setting and a Most Appropriate NAUTICAL BACKDROP for the Chapel Hour with an Inland Sea Euphemistically Labelled > the American Mediterranean - Where I spent Many Pleasant Hours Swimming in the L.I. Sound . I Lived in RYE , Home of ROBBER BARRON YACHT CLUB and My Sister still Lives in STAMFORD . The Episcopal Church in Town has Elegant TIFFANY Stained - Glass Windows . Eventually I BOLTED NY for the WEST Coast of FL. to Keep Clear of the VULTURINE TAXES of ALBANY . Here , being a VET , I have a Homestead Exemption , HALLELUJA H !
Thank you yet again, Dean Robert and Fletcher! It has been a particular treat for me to see you in the beautiful surroundings of New York and Connecticut -- an area that means a lot to me as I grew up there. Today's Morning Prayer from the shores of Norwalk was beautiful indeed. Safe travels, and until we meet again ....
Always a pleasure to click on TH-cam - and find first, the Garden Congregation. (Living in the country, we frequently hear coyotes in the evening with their plaintive cry.)
Oh wow! No end of surprises from Dean Robert! Really looking forward to where you teach us from next. Hope you make it to Santurce, Puerto Rico, where we have the Episcopal Cathedral.
What a wonderful ending to your epic ministry tour i have watched through it all and thank you so much for introducing us to your great friends the wonderful filming from Fletcher Scenery and eclipse and his descriptions of food ! So glad you are home again with your best mates. Plse rest up before you jet off to Texas!^
You, Dean Robert & Fletcher, have been that influence for good ❤ ❤ (along w household saints, ie family known only to God). I'm sure Tiger, Lily, & Leo will be overjoyed to see you) 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️
Such a special morning prayer for me. When I first came to the Garden congregation, it was during my mother’s illness and confinement for her last days. We watched the Morning Prayer everyday, sometimes repeated times as they were a great comfort to her, and in turn me. The second reason this morning prayer was significant is because it was on April 9th, 2021 that my mother finally succumbed to her illness and passed on. It was touching to hear of your mother in today’s message as I was thinking of mine. Lastly, I was entranced by the view and so pleased that you persevered and stayed by the water. Thank you for all the comfort you have provided, first to my mother when she needed it the most, and then to me as I dealt with her loss.
2:32 we were thrilled to discover the new Morning Prayers after our return from St. Thomas Fifth Avenue . It was extra special to meet with you in person and then to follow your progress through Connecticut. I think many people don’t know that these new Morning Prayers are out there. We will do our best to spread the word. Karen Hyman and Joe Scorza❤
Thank you so much for your persistence in enhancing my spiritual life you successfully brought me back many years to a college class that introduced me to Dietrich Bonhoeffer 55 years ago. It was wonderful to have you both back in my life this blessed holy time.
Viewed in Australia where wild dogs are called Dingos, your persistence with Morning Prayer sent across the globe, is for me ... a miracle. I remember Dean Robert and Fletcher celebrating Australia Day with music, and other unrelated events in Hong Kong and India also (???) As ANZAC day approaches at the end of April, we need to remember those who died in the cause of "peace" WW1 "The War to end all Wars" saw 7,000,000 or more military and civilian deaths. WW2 saw estimates of 50,000,000 to 70,000,000 dying from all causes. Prayers and actions to secure peace remain as important as always. Preventing war and ending poverty have never been more crucial. Peace be with you ... said Christ to the disciples.
I admire your tenacity in completing the video! Doubt that any other clergy family, while preaching in the USA, have shared morning prayer in different locations with a wider community and so many details of their travels. Know how much it is appreciated. Not sure if a daily video morning prayer is feasible with all the work it entails now that we are out of lockdown but the occasional service is still appreciated especially as few churches offer public morning prayer these days. I lived across Long Island Sound from Norwalk, in Northport, for over 20 years.
@@mspocahontas46 I too, grew up in Huntington on Lloyds Neck. The sounds, shells, and waves was so distinctly that of Long Island Sound. Such memories!
Thank you for being intrepid, and sharing with us so generously. Applause for Norwalk AC, keeping people safe. Coyotes are larger in the North/Northeast, and even cursory online research will note they have interbred with wolves-combining the boldness of coyotes with superior intelligence. Fences don’t keep them out-even with Coyote Rollers. They’ve aggressively pursued and attacked multiple humans near us on Cape Cod. And here in the Berkshires, to see three at a go,loping up the roads-is common. Let us pray that loving people are inspired to create cat enclosures, to enrich and preserve the lives of their cats, and save birds-which cats annihilate in shockingly great numbers. Compassion and stewardship are holy work. Thank you for…everything❤❤xoxo
What a blessing this season of Morning Prayer! It was so refreshing for us, and I'm sure it was for Dean Robert and Fletcher as well. And what better ending could there be with this scenario, with this landscape, with this reflection? Until we met again - We hope soon!!
Words cannot express the joy and blessings we receive every time you post MP. Our world enlarges beyond our residence, our souls are fed especially with Gods Word through your teachings and our minds are stimulated with a touch of history. Your cats, the garden and especially the animals are a pure gift of pleasure. My husband and I are enjoying the language in the UK Common Prayer Book. Could you possibly let me know how and where I might buy one? May Peace and Love be in your hearts always. Joan and Obediah
Glad that the coyote didn't eat you! It's been lovely to see videos from your time here in the US. But I admit that I have been missing the cats!! I appreciate your teaching those of us who are not Christians about the diversity of interpretations of scripture and doctrine, that there is not just ONE right way to practice that faith. The world needs to know that.
A coyote? Why, he would have settled right in like all your other animals do. You have a way with animals that would have made him happy to meet you. Thank you for the lovely views and your gentleness. Blessings to you and Fletcher, from Elizabeth and Spencer. xoxo
Thank you for another wonderful morning prayer and, once again, for all the work you do to bring these lessons to the GC. I have one favor to ask: please let us know which page number DR is reading from in Daily Prayer. Thank you!!
In Toronto, the coyotes just wander around. We would make sure our children are not at risk. We grab our dogs’ leashes, and make sure our cats are at home. But our coyotes are not seen as a hazard to adult humans. Sorry that happened to you!
Fantastic service thankyu so much

Speaking of your mother brings us all memories of our mothers. My time with the GC is my most grounding part of my day.
A great blessing to share in Dean Robert’s morning prayer whose ministry continues to be an encouragement.
So pleased I just came upon this.
Have so missed the Garden Congregation!

Viewed in Australia where wild dogs are called Dingos, your persistence with Morning Prayer sent across the globe, is for me ... a miracle.
I remember Dean Robert and Fletcher celebrating Australia Day with music, and other unrelated events in Hong Kong and India also (???)
As ANZAC day approaches at the end of April, we need to remember those who died in the cause of "peace"
WW1 "The War to end all Wars" saw 7,000,000 or more military and civilian deaths.
WW2 saw estimates of 50,000,000 to 70,000,000 dying from all causes.
Prayers and actions to secure peace remain as important as always.
Preventing war and ending poverty have never been more crucial.
Peace be with you ... said Christ to the disciples.
I admire your tenacity in completing the video! Doubt that any other clergy family, while preaching in the USA, have shared morning prayer in different locations with a wider community and so many details of their travels.

Not sure if a daily video morning prayer is feasible with all the work it entails now that we are out of lockdown but the occasional service is still appreciated especially as few churches offer public morning prayer these days.

Thank you for being intrepid, and sharing with us so generously. Applause for Norwalk AC, keeping people safe. Coyotes are larger in the North/Northeast, and even cursory online research will note they have interbred with wolves-combining the boldness of coyotes with superior intelligence.

Just struck me, GC is the Garden Congregation; but also the "Great Commission". 🙏
I have read the Cost of Discipleship.
Glad that the coyote didn't eat you!

Thank you for another wonderful morning prayer and, once again, for all the work you do to bring these lessons to the GC. I have one favor to ask: please let us know which page number DR is reading from in Daily Prayer. Thank you!!
Hi there, thank you so much for getting in touch! It was page 263, Morning Prayer for Easter season. I hope this helps? Sending very best wishes x
Thank you, Fletcher!! I’m still trying to learn my way around Daily Prayer but not always successfully….
In Toronto, the coyotes just wander around. We would make sure our children are not at risk. We grab our dogs’ leashes, and make sure our cats are at home. But our coyotes are not seen as a hazard to adult humans. Sorry that happened to you!
Coyotes are dangerous, here in my neighborhood a coyote grabbed a cat off the front porch! Cover your ears Leo, its too frightening to think about.
So they moved everyone from the beach because there was one lone coyote? Good grief.
Thank you Dean Robert and Fletcher 🙏
