"Small Is Big" Rev. Kristen Psaki (4/19/20)

"Wellness of the Whole" Christopher Watkins Lamb (4/19/20)

Christopher Watkins Lamb begins and ends his reflection with a beautiful song "When the world is sick, can't no one be well..." Christopher brings a unique perspective in this moment from his role as a hospital chaplain, and as someone deeply connected to the earth and its cycles. His message calls us to use this time to grow in a deeper relationship with our closest neighbors and the land we live on.
