Blessing of the Animals: liturgies and sermons
Worship Outdoors
Retreats:
In the image above, The
Rev. Dr. Leah Schade and confirmation students explain in the
Children’s Sermon the three crosses they created as part of their learning
about the Apostle's Creed, "I believe in God the Father, creator of heaven
and earth": One cross represented Creation, the second, Eco- crucifixion, and the third, Eco-Resurrection. At the
end of the service, worshipers processed outside to bless water, soil, seeds,
gardening tools, and tractors. Worshipers were given free seed packets to
take home and plant. |
