Moving from Private Grief to Shared Hope, through Love, Healing & Action
Led by our special guest speaker for our April Faith in Action partner
Join Chaplain Clementina Chéry, President & CEO of the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute, on a transformative journey from personal grief to collective healing. This sermon invites participants to engage all the senses—sight, sound, touch, smell, taste, and imagination—while exploring the principles of love, community, and action. Through storytelling, reflection, and sensory practices, we will discover how grief can be honored, healing can be nurtured, and shared experiences of trauma can become sources of hope, connection, and meaningful change.

Earth Day is honored on April 22nd, and yet how do we need to recognize and honor that Earth Day is in fact, and crucially needs to be, EVERY DAY. Let’s look at where we are this year in relationship to the only Mother Earth we have and will ever have because there truly is no Planet B (even while some think flying spaceships to other planets will be our salvation). How do we continue to bring daily practices of care and joy into the center of our being in relationship to Nature and Mother Earth?
