Sacred Soul, Sacred Earth, Sacred Wisdom
Awakening soul, self, and community to our connection with Earth
You’re invited to take part in this collaborative, multifaceted programme organized by Roxboro and Cedar Park United Churches in May and June.
It includes worship, family-friendly activities, noon-hour book study and discussion sessions on Zoom, and opportunities to engage in creation care.
Our book study will be anchored by two books : Sacred Earth, Sacred Soul, by John Philip Newell and Braiding Sweetgrass, by Robin Wall Kimmerer
You can purchase your books through local bookstores, Chapters/Indigo, or Amazon, in paper or e-book format.
