It’s a movie about how regenerating the world’s soils has the potential to rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies. This film explains why transitioning to regenerative agriculture could be key in rehabilitating the planet, while simultaneously invigorating a new sense of hope and inspiration.

Celebrating Faith Climate Action Week
We will examine how our food systems contribute to injustice and to climate change, and how we are called to respond with practical solutions. We will have advocacy cards, shopping cards, participate in National Climate Prayer, and have a blessing of our gardens.

40 VERSES TO IGNITE YOUR FAITH: SURPRISING INSIGHTS FROM UNEXPECTED PASSAGES

Sometimes we need a fresh word or promise for the season we find ourselves in-something that ignites our faith in the face of fear, doubt, loneliness, insecurity, or overwhelming circumstances.

In this powerful study, author and speaker Laurie Short mines the Scriptures and guides you through insights and promises from 40 verses we often overlook. Digging in to these "in between" verses, she unearths fresh wisdom, guidance, and encouragement that will help you seek and experience God in new, dynamic ways. From trusting God's timing, to not worrying about the future, to holding on to faith when things look dark, the hidden insights found in these sessions will help you navigate the challenges that cross your path, breathe new life into your weary soul, and ignite your faith once again.
