In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.
(James 1: 21. The Message)

There couldn't be a more appropriate scripture for describing the intent of having the Jerusalem Cross Garden in our church grounds.

God is the gardener of our souls. God landscapes our hearts and lives as we daily, weekly, engage the Word. And in this regular touching of, and being touched by, the living Word, we find ourselves changed by Gods' love, wanting our lives more and more to be the salvation-garden from which an abundance of Godly goodness is shared with others.

So acts of devotion and acts of worship spill over into acts of compassion and justice - the four Christian acts symbolized by the four little crosses in the Jerusalem Cross - and God's will is done in our lives causing the world to tremble.
