Earth Day Sunday
by Sara Wescott, Guest Speaker
As Unitarian Universalists, our respect for the interdependent web of all existence calls us to protect our beloved planet. Join us for our Earth Day worship service where we will explore this call and the solidarity it requires — most importantly the solidarity with indigenous communities who have been living in deep relationship with the land for centuries.

Her involvement with a local non-profit group, Menīkānaehkem, provided a platform to pursue her passion for community rebuilding while helping to create a brighter future for the next generations.
