The Spiritual World of Nature Program at Christ Church, WFB
This intergenerational program is designed to use the beauty and complexity of the natural world to illustrate the teachings of the Christian Faith. Moreover every natural object has spiritual lessons hidden in its essence. Undoubtedly nature itself is an expression of God's will. Audubon Education Director Don Quintenz, an expert on nature, will lead us through the beautiful outdoor setting of our services where he will point out some of the many examples of spiritual lessons that are waiting to be gleaned from nature. Don's program will follow the 9:15 Garden Service.
