This Fragile Earth our Island HomeAll events happening in the Undercroft at Calvary Episcopal Church.

February 21 – Wall-E

We will watch Wall-E…Not just a robot story.

February 28 – Wall-E: The Discussion

We will grapple with the eye-opening issues that are raised by this movie and relate them to our life in this world.  How do we connect to this little robot and what is our human response to the barren conditions of life in the Wall-E age? Are we destined to destroy what has been given to us?

March  7 – The story of our Stuff

We will watch, “The Story of Stuff,” and unpack what is said. Our discussion will address questions like:  Is God calling us to live more simply?  Why do we consume so much when our needs are so few?  We will critically examine our own consumption and even try to understand how we consume God.

March 14 – The Art of Reusing

Artist Amy Company will join us and lead us through an art project using stuff that we would normally throw away. How can we creatively turn waste into something beautiful?  Our projects will then be used to decorate the Undercroft!

March 21 – Our holy Meal:

Holy grains. Holy fruits.

Jesus took bread, gave thanks, said the blessing and asked us to do this in remembrance of him.  Jesus took wine, gave thanks, said a blessing, and asked us to drink in remembrance of him.  Our bread and our wine have a living history.  They have come to our table through many hands and have been passed to us for holy use.  We will discover the path in which our bread and wine has taken to get to us.  And we will ask how the grains and fruits that we consume impact our holiest of gatherings.
