Altars of Delight

About this episode

The episode reflects on the transient nature of beauty and gratitude in life, honoring both joy and sorrow through shared rituals and music.

This Earth Day Sunday, we lean into the tension of the reality that so much of what fills us with wonder and gratitude can be temporary and fleeting. Together in an all-ages service we honor both the beauty and the ache of being alive. With shared ritual, and music from Christopher Watkins Lamb, we practice meeting the living world with reverence, honesty, and gratitude.
