Earth Day

We all know that we need to save the Earth. But we also have to consume it to survive. We'll consider ethical eating as featured in the Spring 2007 UU World and in The Omnivore's Dilemma, by Michael Pollan.

Earth Day
 

Alison Kendall, Green Living Committee Chair and James Witker, Faith in Action Co-chair present an Earth Day awareness-generating service which explores what you can do personally and organizationally to address the threat of climate change to future generations and all living systems. 

During this awareness-generating service on what has been happening with climate justice, we explore our response to those who say, "it's beyond the point of hope," and understand how the choices that we make matter a great deal. The trick is to summon the great spiritual awakening: that our choices have great impact on people who live in the future and in other places, but we are still accountable to them.

April Worship Theme: Transformation

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been,
I have great faith in a seed. 
Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.
