Sunday, April 26, 12:15 to 1:15 pm, First Parish Main Office (3 Church St)
Join First Parish Cambridge’s Environmental Justice Team and Young Adults Group for a guided tree “re-connecting” walk. Assistant Minister Rev. Sophia Doescher, Rob Moir of the Ocean River Institute, and others will lead a meet-and-greet with individual trees and the many interconnections that embrace us all.
All materials needed will be provided. Gather at the main office of the Meeting House at 12:15 pm, which can be accessed through the 3 Church St door to First Parish in Cambridge. This event is sponsored by First Parish in Cambridge, open to the public, and all ages are welcome to join. Please note sound projection is limited and the ground of the Old Burial Ground is uneven. You can also find this information on our website here.
While you do not need to attend the service to do the workshop, anyone is welcome to join us at 10:30 am for our worship service in the First Parish meeting house. Rev. Sophia Doescher will give a sermon, “We are the Great Turning.” “The Great Turning” is a paradigm shift coined by Buddhist activist Joanna Macy. She describes it as a shift from an industrial growth society, focused on consumption and destruction, to a life-sustaining civilization. This is made possible by doing the “work of re-connecting”, work that we as Unitarian Universalists are called to do. Join us for our Earth Day celebration, as we reimagine and claim our place in this Great Turning.
