Winter Solstice Worship Service
The contemplative worship service will observe the theme of darkness at Winter Solstice and prophetic proclamation of the birth of light from Advent. Darkness can be a safe place of retreat, like when bears hibernate in winter or perennial bulbs rest in the ground before shooting forth again come spring. Darkness can also be catastrophic, like when there is natural disaster or terrorism and war. Environmental news seems more threatening than ever – the middle Atlantic Current (AMOC) is weakening and the carbon sink of trees and land failed to absorb much carbon in 2023. At the same time, politicians and policy makers who deny Climate Change and stress government de-regulation over environmental protection will be making decisions that impact not just the USA but the entire globe. When the darkness seems most threatening, how does Christ give us courage to continue? If you are experiencing disquiet, depleted energy, and fears for the future, join with others on Saturday evening Dec. 21st for this special Zoom gathering. We are not alone.

WHAT WE DO
I Corinthians 4:1 Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Presbyterians for Earth Care (PEC) invites individuals and congregations to participate in the growing earth care movement within the PC(USA). PEC is a national eco-justice network that cares for God’s creation by connecting, equipping, and inspiring Presbyterians to make creation care a central concern of the church.
Presbyterians for Earth Care cares for God’s Creation by:
Connecting members through a grassroots network of people seeking to keep the sacred at the center of earth care, advocacy and action both inside and outside the walls of the church.
Equipping members with resources, ideas and information for a shared journey toward a healthier planet by growing and sharing theological understandings and perspectives on eco-justice issues.
Inspiring members through stories of individuals and groups who have responded to the sacred call to care for the earth – stories told person to person at events, and by newsletter, email, social media and devotions.
Presbyterians for Earth Care was formerly called Presbyterians for Restoring Creation.
