This Sunday, April 20:
Service at 10:30 am:
This year Easter and Earth Day fall on the same week. The Easter holiday highlights both suffering and renewal in our lives through the story of Jesus in the Christian Scriptures. Earth Day highlights the Earth, our home, that we need to survive as a species. The Earth is suffering, in part because of our suffering as a species. I will look at ways that we can renew the Earth and by so doing renew ourselves and our species. Sermon by Rev. Jay Wolin Click on the image to view the live stream...
