April’s Ministry Theme: The Practice of Joy
Trees of Hope and Joy: An Earth Day Celebration
Rev. Tim Temerson & the UUCville Ministry for Earth
ORDER OF SERVICE
Did you ever imagine that planting trees could change the world? Dr. Wangari Maathai, winner of the Nobel Prize for Peace, certainly did and she inspired women in Africa to plant more than 50 million trees. Join us for our annual Earth service and celebration, which will also include a sustainable potluck, a native plant seed bank, and trees to take home and plant.
