Claiming Our Call in a Climate-Changed World

Recognizing the many other efforts our members are engaged in centered around climate change, we decided to focus on the treasure of our own 6.5 acres of land. Our radical intent is to strengthen our sacred interconnections with all of our neighbors, human and other than human across generations, in ways that both respect and support all of our ongoing transformations. To this end, we decided to develop several Stations of the Earth in collaboration with our church members of all ages, current allies from the community, and to develop new partnerships.
The first step is hosting the All-Ages Nature Gathering on Sunday, September 29 after worship to engage in the concept of “Creation,” using our time together to engage in either a contemplative land activity & walk OR a seated storytelling and art activity outdoors under the Dawn Redwood Tree. We’ll also be gathering your ideas, hopes and dreams for this project. The next steps will come from your input and our shared conversations.
If you’re interested in learning more about the project, please contact Barb Murray, Angie Dierks, or Patricia Ellen. If you’re interested in learning more about another emerging climate-related program, the monthly Climate Cafe, please contact Erica Bartlett (all emails are listed on Breeze or you can reach out to office@a2u2.org).
