November’s Ministry Theme: The Gifts of Generosity
A Personal Earth
Laura Wallace, Speaker
Angela Orebaugh, Worship Weaver
The urgency of the era is reframing our relationship with the earth. What truly motivates personal and spiritual approaches to what the earth needs from us?
Humility and compassion give us strengths we can draw on rather than becoming numbed by despair or guilt.
We can find purpose, meaning and peace despite the grief and fear we feel as the world reels under climate change,
and we can face its reality together.
