God Is In All of Creation: Celebrating Presence
Focus: “Teach your children what we have taught our children: that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the children of the earth. This we know. The earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth. Our God is the god of all people. And compassion is equal for all. this earth is precious to God, and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on the creator. So love it as we have loved it. care for it as we have cared for it. and with all your mind, with all your heart, preserve it for our children and love as God loves us all.” ― Chief Seattle
