Meditation on Trees – Joy Kennedy
This summer, Joy Kennedy, with pictures from her own neighbourhood created not one, but two meditations on trees.
The first meditation is approximately 16 minutes long and could be used in place of a message during worship, as part of a study on climate justice, or for your own personal reflection.
The second mediation is 11 minutes long and would be great for a study and for your own personal reflection.
Thanks, Joy, for sharing your passion and talents with our Regions!
Blessed be the tree!
