"We Call Upon the Power that Sustains
the Planets in their Orbits"
Inspired by the prophetic warnings about global warming from her rocket scientist father, Harry Gilbert, Sally Jo Gilbert de Vargas with Karen Lindquist conspire to weave this worship service as a Call and an answer for healing our planet.
Exquisite music will be shared by Chigusa Kitai, a member of SilkStrings, offering traditional and contemporary Japanese music on koto and shamisen.
"We call upon the power that sustains the planets in their orbits, that wheels our Milky Way in its 200-million-year spiral, to imbue our personalities and our relationships with harmony, endurance, and joy. Fill us with a sense of immense time so that our brief, flickering lives may truly reflect the work of vast ages past and also the million of years of evolution whose potential lies in our trembling hands.”
~ excerpt from “Invocation” by John Seed.
"Our pain for the world is a natural response that mirrors our love for the world. Do not pathologize your sorrow/grief. Embrace it and dance with it as it changes. These feeling are an indicator of your health and sense of deep connectedness. Of course you are feeling this sorrow, your larger body is in trauma and you feel it as part of you."
~ Joanna Macy
FILM & DIALOGUE at Noon:
Following the morning worship service, we invite you to join us as we view the film, "Do the Math" at Noon, followed by a friendly discussion.
"Do the Math" is a fast-paced and inspiring mini-documentary (42 minutes) about the rising movement to solve the climate crisis. Light refreshments will be available.
