Message from our Eco-Minister
This can be a tough time of year with longer nights and a mono-chromatic landscape. To counter this darkness, Western secular culture gears up with festive activities, lights, and consumerism. What if, rather than buying all the presents, attending all the concerts, getting the new outfits, and feasting for almost a month straight, we followed the cues of nature to slow down and embrace dormancy, stillness, darkness, and simplicity? What if we paid attention to Chicadees, sunrises, bare branches, ice and snow to see what they have to teach us about incarnation? How can they help bring us into connection with Christ, firstborn of all creation?
As you reflect on Advent and Christmas, either for yourself or for preaching or leading worship, here are some links to resources that help to bring alive God’s incarnate presence in all creation. Blessings and peace to you all this season of darkness and light.
