About 15 of our parish and community members viewed this fillm that provides hope in fixing a broken planetary system through regenerative agriculture. We enjoyed a simple soup and bread dinner.

The Land is Not Our Own:
Seeking Repair Alongside Indigenous Communities

During Lent 2026, several parish members participated in an 8 week program. We met each Sunday after the worship service.  Each 2-hour session centered around small group dialogue, spiritual reorientation, and entryway into a lifelong commitment to honoring God’s Creation and protecting Native rights. This series guided us to learn the truth about our history so that we can join in the heartbreaking and joyous work of protecting our sacred land, air, and water; address Native boarding schools; respect tribal sovereignty, and honor the interconnectedness of all Creation.
On May 31, the group shared their experience and hosted coffee hour featuring items inspired by Indigenous foodways.
