A Tale of Two Trees: Earth Day Celebration
Reverend Emily Manvel Leite, Reverend Mary Ann Macklin, Reverend Douglas Wadkins and the Earth Day Planning Team
This intergenerational service will include drama, singing, and time for personal reflection regarding our relationship with the earth as individuals and as a community. Members of our Green Sanctuary Task Force will share insights and we will have free trees! Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate with all ages.
Along with the free trees for planting, Green Sanctuary will be hosting tables of information featuring the Forest Alliance with a petition to save Indiana forests; the "Bring your own Bag Bloomington" campaign; the Citizens' Climate Lobby, and the Monroe County Energy Challenge. Enjoy a cup of our new, locally roasted, Hopscotch coffee while you participate in the Observe and Interact site meditation/observation activity.
