On May 20, 2018 we celebrated the Feast of Pentecost by hearing the story in many languages, a baptism and an inspiring sermon by our Rector, The Rev. Elizabeth Maxwell and music from the wonderful Ascension choir. You can listen to her message with this link https://tinyurl.com/y8sop4ph.

In this week’s newsletter, Mother Liz celebrates Earth Month alongside Eastertide, noting how resurrection speaks not only to humanity but to “the groaning of the whole creation” and God’s determination to make all things new. She observes that when Mary Magdalene mistakes the risen Christ for a gardener, we glimpse the deep interconnection of all beings—and when we touch creation’s wounds with reverence and compassion, we meet God. Quoting Robin Wall Kimmerer, the rector reminds us that “when we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us,” and invites us to deepen our love and commitment to our fragile, beautiful planet.
