In this Earth Day Service, we will explore our 7th Principle, the interconnected web of all existence of which we are a part. We inhale, and exhale, again and again countless times every day. Inhale…at what point does air become breath? Exhale…when does breath become simply air? We are of the earth, and the earth is in us. “What we do to each other and to our world, we do to ourselves.” During this service we’ll explore that statement, and the ambiguity and paradox we face when we try to apply it in our day to day lives when we try to figure out how to live in ways that respect the interdependent web of all existence, and when we try to figure out ways to help protect our precious earth.

Guest speaker, Pastor Libby Hugus, will present “Mirror the Foreigner” from the Christian gospel of Luke 10:25-37. Mother Theresa said “if we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
Pastor Hugus visits us from The Table, a Casper religious community of “doubters + disciples together… a new missional community gathering for the practice of inclusive Christianity.”
Originally created in 1923 by Unitarian minister Norbert Capek of Prague, Czechoslovakia, the Flower Communion is an annual ritual that celebrates beauty, human uniqueness, diversity, and community. In this ceremony, everyone in the congregation brings (or is given) a flower. Each person places a flower on the altar or in a shared vase. The congregation blesses the flowers, and they’re redistributed. Each person brings home a different flower than the one they brought.

A re-awakening to the religious must include a special recognition of laughter. In healthy laughter at ourselves we abandon false dignity, false pride, and simply accept and enjoy whatever we are. Laughter is a sign of grace; not the decoration on the cake of spirituality but a fundamental ingredient, vital to our spirituality.
