Thank you Pastor Norman for including us in your amazing Christmas Extraganza last evening at Church on The Square!! I love the emphasis on Christ instead of "Black Friday". It was an uplifting experience to be a part of it.

I just want to say we had a wonderful 2nd anniversary celebration yesterday - what a Blessing! Pastor Norman you are a wonderful Pastor - and you are always there to do what ever you can at any time to help anyone. I can hardly wait till we have our 3rd year anniversary. May GOD BLESS YOU and your Family, and our CHURCH.

After having attended a number of churches in the area, We enjoyed your service this morning. It was entertaining, but much more importantly, God's Word was delivered with sincerity and in truth. After being in pastoral ministry 30 years, it's not easy to 'plug-in' to another work. We were blessed, and plan to attend again.

Thank you Pastor Norman for your best ever sermon today on "Truth". You really make a difference in my life and I'm sure in the lives of your congregation. You sure gave me and I'm sure a lot of other people a lot to think about - truth vs. opinion.
Thank you again.

I attended your service today for the first time, and enjoyed it very much. My compliments to you for attempting to cover all the bases and reach out to everyone---young, old, healthy, sick, hearing- impaired, etc..
Your mix of "traditional and contemporary" is impressive, and the tremendous effort you put into planning your service is apparent.
Your final solo touched me and brought me to tears. Is it available for purchase?
Keep up the good work. You are a blessing to so many.

Norman I am sorry I was not at church today to see you sing for your mother but I saw the video Yvonne posted on Facebook. You are truly blessed to have a mother like Norma who never gave up on you. I know God hears the prayers of righteous woman. My husband Pete was also blessed to have such a mother who spent a lot of time on her knees praying for him. Thank you for all you do and for being my Pastor. You are an inspiration and a blessing to everyone who meets you. I pray the Lord will give you strength to continue his work reaching people for Jesus.

Pastor Norman,
I love your songs, I sing to them every day! When I go to florida to see my gram (Penny Hoffman) I always ask her if we are going to see you sing! I am praying to find a church like yours to go to - back in Peck, Michigan! When I have a bad day I ALWAYS pray and then put your cd in and listen to it and it makes me feel better!! Thank you so very much!! - and one more thing - Thank you for helping me find my way to god!!

Last Sunday I was baptized by Pastor Norman at the Garden Worship Center. I knew it was a step of faith but never expected to feel such a change in my life - and a real feeling of peace. God has truly blessed Pastor Norman. I am much more able to share about the Garden Worship Center, as I grew up in the era of don't discuss religion and politics. Now I feel very free to share about the wonderful Garden Worship Center. I so look forward to spending Sunday mornings at The Garden. Thank you Pastor Norman.

My wife and I were truly blessed by Pastor Norman and the Angels last evening, April 1, 2011. And I can honestly say it was NOT an April fools joke!!!
Thank you so much Pastor Norm, we had three people with us that truly need Jesus and I think that your concert helped to break the chains binding their lives. It's all up to God now, the seed was planted!

First I want to wish you a happy birthday pastor Norm. God surely inspires your church services and God has used you in my return to Jesus Christ, and I praise his name for putting you in my life! I know this sounds kind of goofy, but I have never even wanted to really go to church before I had the blessing to attend one of your services. Now I can't hardly wait untill Sunday morning to see what is in store for us. You are what the world needs in these trying times that we live in, and worshipping with you and the Garden Center flock is such a blessing to my wife and I. Thank you so much and many Mahalo's....

I have to be honest with you all, when I saw the ad in the Daily Sun about the starting up of the Garden Center church, I was very skeptical. I am a recovering alcoholic and I use to be at the spanish springs square partying and listening to Norman Lee. How wrong I was!! Norman is a great man of God and I am happy to say that he is my Shepard and I am of his flock!! God bless you Norman Lee, You remind me so much of Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel, Costa Mesa, Ca. You present the same Agape love as Chuck does! See you next Sunday for sure, Mahalo and Aloha!!! Mike Vandersnick

Hi Norman. This is you cousin, Mickey. WOW, what a wonderful site. We would love to come see you. My husband, Scott, and my 19 month old would love to meet you also. What a fantastic role model you would be for my son, Augustine. Your mom asked me to print out some stuff about you. She is so very proud of her son. She is such a beautiful person, inside and out, she should be on your website also. Your granmother, Olga loves you also so much. She always talks about you when we visit. We are all very proud of you. All our love and prayers, Mickey, Scott, Augustine and Marguerite. XOXOXOXOXO

Once again there are no words to express my Thanks to you, the Praise Team, Oscar, Kathleen, "Wynona" and the dance team for two wonderful concerts and art auctions that were so successful in our fund raising efforts for Relay for Life. This church is amazing in the dedication and devotion of all of the congregation. Our Relay for Life project is coming to an end very soon and I am looking forward to raising funds for a much needed building fund for this amazing church and congregation. You, Pastor Norman are such an inspiration. Bless you.

Pastor Norman Lee, Thank you for the message this morning. It took me back 15 years ago when I ask God to help me. I didn't know then, but I do know now that the minute I ask God for help, the Holy Spirit took residence in my being and led me step by step to what has become a life beyond my wildest dreams. It wasn't long ago that I started reading the bible and it's amazing how much it relates to that minute I ask for help and where it has taken me. We really liked your church, your message and your worship music...see you next Sunday! I want to thank Fred Theroux for inviting my wife and I this morning and thank you for allowing us to have meetings there in the evenings. Sincerely, Phil W.

I just read my niece and great-niece's letters to you and I, too, wanted to share what a Blessing your have become in my life and others here in GA. I first visited your Garden with my sister Sue Swartz this past December, when my husband and I were visiting my Mother and sister and her husband. I had already been introduced to your wonderful music through gifts from Mother and Sue; I not only listen to them at work but have shared them with several of my co-workers and we are all in agreement what a blessing Your music brings to our somewhat hectic workplace. What they have not been able to experience is the Wonderful message you provide in your Garden, nor is my Mother able to hear your messages since, as you know, she is no longer able to attend. There are so many of us "way out here" that would so like to enjoy your messages and testimony weekly, and I was wondering if that was something that might be possible in the near future. I know that this lengthy but I wanted to THANK YOU for all the Blessing and Confort you have extented to family. We "Tibbits" will be visiting again soon, and are so looking forward the next vist in your Garden. God Bless You, your Garden and All that make it possible.

I have so much to say, don't know where to start. I live in Virginia, met you while I was visiting ONE of the most IMPORTANT people in my life. She introduced me to your WONDERFUL & MOVING CD's. They have changed me in a POSITIVE way FOREVER, THANK YOU! My husband & I were preparing for a trip recently. I mentioned to him how I was going to miss your songs while we were gone, he insisted I purchase an IPOD to download your songs. I now have them in my car and on our radio IPOD dock in the kitchen. My daughter who is 11 years old has a great fondness for your music, it’s AWESOME she wants to listen to your music with me! My Aunt LOVES your services, I look on your site every Friday or Saturday night to see what your message will be for Sunday's Service & relay it to her. Here is my request, is there a way for your services to be BROADCAST AS AUDIO (LIKE YOUR SONG “I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU”, PLAYS) IF NOT VIDEO, SO THOSE OF US THAT ARE NOT IN THE AREA OR IN THE AREA AND NOT ABLE TO ATTEND, BUT CAN LISTEN TO YOUR MESSAGES. My Dear Aunt has told me not only do your words provide so much meaning but the way you present your messages provide so much meaning. THANK YOU FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE TOUCHING MY LIFE, MY DAUGHTER, MY AUNT, MY GRANDMA AND SO MANY, MANY MORE PEOPLE. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

I just watched you on The Good Life TV45 show from Gaylord Palm where he referred to you as the singing minister. You are very good and I hope this church is very successful. Having everything fall into place as fast as it did is hopefully a very powerful sign of what you are destined to do.! I would like to go to one of your services or shows if you come to Brevard county one day. Stay true to your faith and keep inspiring other people to believe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
