Rev. Peter Sawtell,
preaching in the Sanctuary.
Children singing; Adult choir singing; Children’s chat
Sermon:"Circles
and Lines". The "zero waste" challenge is philosophical
as well as practical. Our culture has tended to think of things moving
on a straight-line path from resource to products to garbage. In getting
rid of waste, we need to recover a sense of the natural cycles that
are so important in God's creation.
