9:15AM Worship Service: Earth & Soil
Location: Fellowship Hall
Today, many in our world and many of us celebrate Easter, the resurrection of Jesus and their ascension home to reunification with God. This season, many have contemplated returning to ash, star dust, dirt. What word of comfort and power can we find in this story of life, death, and reunification with Home?
Whether Home for us is soil, web, or G*d, there's a message of both comfort and power in this reunification. We are all part of something that is more. It is where we come from and where we head to.
Today, we learn from the soil, and ask how this connection shifts how we live.
