Sunday, February 16 — SAVE THE DATE: A Journey Toward Hope From Ashes to a New Relationship with Earth & One Another
with John Philip Newell
7:00-8:30 p.m. in the Church, followed by a reception in Sweetland Hall from 8:30-9:00 p.m.
Internationally renowned Celtic teacher, John Philip Newell, will reflect on the themes of his new book, The Great Search:Turning to Earth & Soul in the Quest for Healing & Home, in the context of the devastating Southern California wildfires — inviting us through word,music, symbol and song to grieve our losses and re-imagine our future. You are invited to bring with you a symbol or photograph representing what has been lost — or a remnant or object from the ashes of your home — and place it by the altar of hope at the front of the church as we lament the sufferings of Earth and humanity and yearn for the way forward together. This will be an Interfaith experience and all are welcome! The gathering will be live-streamed at https://allsaints-pas.org/live-stream/. Books will be available for purchase. For more information please call 626.796.1172 or visit allsaints-pas.org.
In preparation for our evening together — beginning Sunday, February 9th we will create an altar of hope at the front of the church on the chancel steps and we invite you to bring a remnant or object from the ashes of your home or a photograph and place it by the altar of hope as we lament the sufferings of Earth and humanity and yearn for the way forward together. The church will be open through the week, Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. to place objects — or bring them with you on the night of the 16th. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn in community from this great teacher!
