Dear Earthlings,
Please join us Sunday, October 11th for Zoom worship with Dr. John B. Cobb Jr. who will preach on "Prayer" 5 pm PST. Dr. Cobb preached for us on Earth Day this year and we dedicated and named our small biodynamic farm after him to celebrate his inspired tireless service to save the earth. Dr. John B. Cobb Jr., 95 years young, is a theologian, philosopher, environmentalist and the preeminent scholar in process philosophy, process theology and Alfred North Whitehead. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2014 and has written numerous books. A prophet and teacher he has blessed and helped inspire the founding of Church for Our Common Home. Many of us have heard and responded to his prophet call to action in this time of planetary crisis. We are always blessed by his presence, kindness and wisdom and we invite you to join us for this unusual opportunity to meet Dr. Cobb this next Sunday.
We also will hear from our church board Treasurer, Juan Ibarra, who will share about his inspired new program, "Free Front Yard Food" to turn our front lawns into food producing gardens where children and people of all ages are welcome to come get food when ever they need food.
Please watch the link below of the preview of the new hopeful documentary Kiss the Ground about how agriculture, the kind we are doing here on the John Cobb Farm will save the planet. It is an extremely hopeful movie and message that is part of what inspired us to move here to Oregon this year and begin doing biodynamic farming. On October 18th we will have a healing worship service about Kiss the Ground, biodynamic farming and we will pray for the 50 million life forms in every handful of dirt. We invite you to join us.
Please find the Zoom link below and call me if you need help with Zoom, or would like to connect, (858) 248-5123.
Sending love, Bonnie
