The topic of the worship service on October 20, 2013 was the dangers of fracking.
Our guest speaker was Elaine Esh Lapp, a longtime PA resident who grew up in a farming community now devastated by fracking. She gave lots of citations and stories and facts about fracking and what it entails and how it destroys the surrounding communities.
"This we know. The earth does not belong to us, we belong to the earth." - Chief Noah Sealth
In the older children's Sunday School class, they were talking about what they would do if they were God, what kinds of things they would do. My oldest daughter's innocent answer was "Give sharks immortality". If only adult minds could work so simply.
Our hymns were SLT #21 For the Beauty of the Earth, #1073 The Earth is Our Mother, and #175 We Celebrate the Web of Life.
Some members also played music for us. Phil Holzinger played Amazing Grace on trumpet, as well as the usual anthems played by our pianist.
