Monthly Ministry Theme: The Gifts of Transformation

An Invitation to Amazement: The Poetry of Mary Oliver

Rev. Tim Temerson & Tori Goodloe

March 24, 2024

As we mark Women’s History Month, today’s service celebrates the vision and artistry of the late Mary Oliver. For over five decades, Mary Oliver’s poetry offered a vision of nature and life filled with beauty, mystery, and gratitude.

The service will be followed by an informal conversation called “After Words,” in which themes and questions from the service can be explored further.
