WE ARE BETTER WHEN WE GIVE OURSELVES TO MAKING OTHERS BETTER: October 9, 2020

Thank you to everyone who helped make the award ceremony such an amazing occasion. The outpouring of thanks, love and support is overwhelming.

In her profound book BRAIDING SWEETGRASS, Robin Wall Kimmerer teaches us that “[s]trawberries first shaped [her] view of a world full of gifts simply scattered at your feet.

FINDING THE LOVE WITHIN – Part 4

FINDING THE LOVE WITHIN – Part 3

Rev. Cecilia Loving shares what Robin Wall Kimmerer teaches in Braiding Sweetgrass, that “the organic symmetry of forms belongs together; the placement of every leaf, the harmony of shapes speak their message.

WE ARE MADE NEW

In 2 Corinthians 5:16-17, Paul says “Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” When I think of newness, I can’t help but think of John 3, when Nicodemus sneaks out […]
