Celebrating Earth Day on Good Friday

Good Friday is the traditional remembrance of the suffering of Jesus Christ leading up to his death on the cross.  The Worship studio explores the intersection of the sufferings of Christ with the sufferings of creation and our particpation in that suffering.  We will explore our betrayal of creation and broken relationship with God and the world around us through experiencing interactive worship stations.  This experimental worship will engage us in dialogue between the ecological health of our community and opportunities for redemption.

Where: Earth House Collective/Lockerbie Central UMC
