Last night (Jan. 25), CUCC hosted the first Earth Sabbath Celebration (see photos). We're co-sponsoring these 4th Tuesday spirit-renewal events with NC Interfaith Power + Light. Our own Steve Halsted is planning them jointly with our friend, Tama Eller. The liturgies draw from a variety of world faith sources and will focus on the four elements: earth, water, fire, and air.
A group of 20+ folks from a variety of congregations came to the first evening which wove around "earth." We chose stones from Alaska to hold, sang songs, prayed in four directions, practiced a breath prayer and a bidding prayer, watched orchestrated visual poems, listened to a blend of scriptures and word poems, and were commissioned for our work. We also had a chance to get to know each other (what is your favorite animal?) and to build closer support networks for the work of creation care.
Join us next 4th Tuesday, Feb. 22, at 7pm. Bring a friend who is as passionate as you are about creation care.
