Dear Earth
from Yes! We're Open: Living Faith with Needham UCC · host The Congregational Church of Needham
In our faith tradition, God calls us to be stewards of creation, to “take care of it and look after it” (Genesis 2:15). But as Buddhist teacher, activist, and poet Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us in his book Love Letters to the Earth, that “it” is us. We are the earth and the earth is us. And we care for the earth not out of external obligation but from an intimate place of love. Now, when creation is suffering so, it’s a good time to remember that… and to say it, out loud, maybe even write it down to remember. Rev. John MacIver Gage, preaching.---The Congregational Church of Needham strives to be a radically inclusive, justice-seeking, peace- making, love-affirming congregation of the United Church of Christ in Needham, MA. Join us for hybrid worship on-site and online LIVE! via Zoom, Sundays @ 10am ET. Connection info and more at www.NeedhamUCC.org.Church is the practice.Love is the point.
