As restrictions on meetings are easing, our monthly Worship in the Woods will begin gathering again on the fourth Sunday of the month at 3:00 pm (tentatively schedule to resume on January 24, 2021).

Join us as we connect all people, God and creation through nature contemplation. 

Celebrate the Divine presence in all things as we seek to live in harmony with everyone and everything.  Transform yourself and renew the Earth as we worship together on the beautiful shore of Lake Cochichewick.

Rooted in the Christian tradition, Worship in the Woods is open to people of all faiths and in all stages of the spiritual path.  If nature is your "church", this is the place for you.  For more on nature contemplation, check out Lawrence's blog here. 

Registration is free, and encouraged.  Please wear a face mask and be prepared to maintain physical distancing as we gather.  Also note that there will be no access to the Rolling Ridge mansion.

 Check this web page the day before for weather preparation updates.
