Kristina Church to Speak at Unitarian Universalist

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Northern Chautauqua will welcome ministerial student Kristina Church to the pulpit on Sunday, May 19. Church’s sermon, “Rising Green” will point out that we live thanks to a series of intricate and delicate relationships that tie us to the planet that formed us and continues to sustain us. Our human and more-than-human connections are all that keep us alive on a spinning ball in the middle of a vast universe. But we humans have frayed the interconnected web to its breaking point. Church asks, “How can we get back into right relationship with our planet?” Come and contemplate the answers to this question with others seeking answers.
