The Green Bible: Exploring Our Relationship with God and the Earth

From its first pages, the Bible is chock-full of stories, songs, and lessons on the sacredness of the earth. In it we see God’s creation of the earth, the earth’s worship of God, humanity’s charge to care for the earth, the earth’s groaning for restoration, and God’s vision for a new earth. In this season of Easter, what does it look like to practice resurrection in our relationship with the earth? In honor of Earth Day, join us for this 5 week series in Pathfinders April 27-May 25 as we explore themes of creation care, the environment, and nature within Scripture. We will culminate our time together on the evening of Sunday, May 25th at 5:00pm for a Hallowed Hike at McIntosh Preserve in which we will share communion together as we walk through nature.
