Or should that be happy rebEARTH Day? We celebrate Earth Day and Easter this week. Just as the joyful resurrection of Easter morning follows the gloom and despair of Good Friday, a new generation of environmentalists are wisely inspiring us to rejoice in the abundance of this planet and the endless possibilities that lie before us. What the Earth needs is not for us to live in a state of guilt and self-sacrifice, but for us to recognize the abundance already available to us. That is true rebirth for human life on earth, for the environmental movement, and for our spirits.
Children are encouraged to come to this intergenerational service and then experience the abundance of our annual Easter egg hunt.
Worship leaders: Revs. Amy Zucker Morgenstern and Catherine Boyle
