Service: Rooted Together, Rev. Liz Murphy with Rev. Dr. Betty Stapleford
Day and Time
Sunday Oct 24, 10:30 AM - Thursday Oct 28, 11:30 AMDetails
The natural world is a beautiful teacher of the possibility of relationship surrounding us -- and the harmony possible in community. What truth and connection might we find just outside our back doors? How might we learn some powerful lessons from the buzzing bees and the sprouting leaves? This Sunday, we’ll consider how we are "Rooted Together," examining how the spirit of life works within us and around us when we most need it.
