Hybrid Service – June 4th, 2023

Please join us at the Church of the Ascension Fellowship Hall for a worship service based on creation beliefs.

Some part of our heart yearns for wildness, for spaces untouched by civilization. What does untethered creation have to teach us about living a joyful and purposeful life? Our message will be a recent sermon by Rev. Taryn Strauss, the Senior Minister at UU Congregation of Atlanta.

If you can’t make it to the Church of the Ascension, please join us on Zoom.

Story for All Ages, The Tree in the Ancient Forest by Carol Reed-Jones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oMAOHAZ2hQ (from 10:00 to 16:20)
I think we have this book in our library and alternatively it could be read aloud if managing the link start/stop is too tricky.

Hymn #1068, Rising Green

There will be a reading and call to silence. The video for the message will be started to end the silence.

Message (begin the video after 1-2 min of silence) The Hope of Wildness – Rev. Taryn Strauss
