For the Beauty of the Earth

Have you noticed? The entire landscape is coming alive around us! The sustained downpours have nourished grass and wildflowers. We now see buds opening in the bright sunlight, snow on the mountains, and birds filling the skies with song. The hills are truly alive with praise! On this Earth Day, we turn our attention to the handiwork of God, the Lord of all creation who fashioned and sustains us all. God who calls creation “good” and “very good,” invites us to open our eyes to see all that is around us. We recall the words of Ellen White who said, "The beauty that clothes the earth is a token of God's love. We may behold it in the everlasting hills, in the lofty trees, in the opening buds and the delicate flowers. All speak to us of God.” [PP 48.3] Pastor Tara VinCross will preach a sermon titled, “For the Beauty of the Earth." You’re invited to engage with God, this scripture, and one another as we stand in awe and wonder at the beauty of our God.
