"Hopeful Stories of Earth's Famous Polluters"
As we near Earth Day, we will playfully reflect on the history of our one earth. What can we learn from times when our interdependent web has been out of balance in the past - and present? This all ages service will include our yearly Flower Ceremony and Child Dedication.
