Sunday April 21st
TODAY … we find ourselves landing into the eve of Earth Day. And so we will draw that into our consciousness as we move further into this season of Easter.
Our Reflection today invites us to journey with Lyanda Lynn Haupt — a naturalist and ecophilosopher rooted in her awareness of “nature’s irrepressible interconnection”. She takes us from her childhood experience of “Frog Church” to pondering how we can respond to the twin realities of climate crisis and habitat destruction. She suggests we begin by settling ourselves into “a spiral of inward, receptive stillness” that will lead to outward creative action.
Scripture: Ephesians 1 paraphrase by Steve Garnaas-Holmes
Reader Judy Krzesowski
Reflection: from “Rooted - Life at the Crossroads of Science,
Nature & Spirit” by Lyanda Lynn Haupt read by Carol Yanisch

Our worship each Sunday is intended to be a collective experience, a communal practice.
We might step into whatever is our sanctuary, each one of us as individuals, and yet as we assemble, from wherever we are, we become a people, drawn together through song and prayer, through word and ritual, and through the Spirit who breathes through it all, through us all.
One and the same Spirit uniting us breathing us into life!
