February 24:
Blue Boat Home
Sermon by Rev. Amy Kindred

Now more than ever, the earth needs us, our attention and our intention. We'll explore seven facts pertaining to what's causing hardship for our climate and seven ways to make positive change for the future.
​The video below shows how precious our Blue Boat Home appears when seen from the moon. It is a NASA simulation of what the Apollo 8 crew saw as the Earth rose above the lunar horizon during their fourth orbit around the Moon. The video pauses to overlay two photographs taken by the crew and includes a clock overlay. The Earthrise picture the video contains has been called "the most influential environmental photograph ever taken." (Click the "Play" button in the middle of the video to watch the earth rise and the icon in the bottom right for a full-screen view).
