Join an exploration of the Rev. Laurel Dykstra's year as an observer of gatherings of wild creatures here in the Lower Mainland. How do salmon and herons, bats and sea lions, help us find spiritual hope in a time of extinction and loneliness on our planet? Each session will reflect on a couple of chapters and our own experiences of natural science, faith, and concern for this fragile earth, our island home.
You can find the book "Wildlife Congregations: A Priest's Year of Gaggles, Colonies, and Murders by the Salish Sea" at local bookshops or online.
The link for the online meeting will be posted each week in the parish Trinity Times newsletter. Sign up to receive it through the parish website.
