50th Earth Day Virtual Vigil
“Seeing with New Eyes”
Sunday, April 26, 6pm
Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day with the Creation Care Alliance on April 26th at 6pm. The vigil will include readings, prayers, songs, and information about creation care from speakers from throughout Western North Carolina. Following the vigil, we will host a “reception” where we invite you to grab your dinner or favorite beverage and join us for a discussion and reflection.
“We are reminded of having our eyes opened from Christian New Testament stories like the Walk to Emmaus, wisdom from Buddhists like Joanna Macy and/or the experiences brought to us by environmental challenges like COVID-19 or climate change. It is clear that collectively we have left “business as usual” behind if even for a little while. Faith communities from around Western North Carolina have been gathering for prayer, music, poetry and wisdom to mark a faithful approach to Earth Day for years. In 2020 we will be gathering in a new way with voices lifted from regional partners across denominations. Join us as we remember the stories that empower a new vision.” – Rev. Scott Hardin-Nieri
