With excitement we look forward to our big Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 20. Episcopalians across Massachusetts will gather at St. Mark’s Church, Southborough, for a special day of learning, sharing, worship, and renewed resolve. Come listen to celebrated ecologist and educator Robin Wall Kimmerer (author of Braiding Sweetgrass) speak in a video recorded just for us about reciprocity from a Native American perspective. Be inspired by internationally known author, environmentalist, and climate activist, Bill McKibben, speaking to us in a livestream. Enjoy the wisdom of Dr. Mary Evelyn Tucker, co-founder and co-director emeritus of the Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology, who, with her husband John Grim. created the academic field of ecology and religion and will be with us in person. At our closing Eucharist, be moved by the preaching of Bishop Carol Gallagher, a member of the Cherokee tribe and Assistant Bishop, Diocese of MA, and by the liturgical leadership of Bishop Doug Fisher, Diocesan, Diocese of Western MA. Join clergy and lay leaders as we celebrate completion of the pilot phase of An Episcopal Path to Creation Justice and build spiritual and moral power to respond to the climate crisis. Registration is open.  Suggested donation is $20, to cover lunch.  All are welcome! I hope to see you there!        

Rev. Margaret will preach at the 10:00 a.m. service of Holy Communion at All Saints Episcopal Church (10 Irving Street, Worcester, MA).  Please join us in person (or live-streamed online) as we celebrate the Fifth Sunday of Easter and our commitment to resurrection hope.  Rev. Margaret will lead a forum about Creation care and climate justice after the service -- please bring your insights and questions and let's see what we discover.
