SUMMARY:Let Justice and Peace Flow
DESCRIPTION:Let’s all join together in prayer to “Let Justice & Peace Flow” during a short evening service in Kirkwood Park. Celebrate the Season of Creation with us in praise and thanksgiving for God’s Creation from 6:30 to 7:30pm on Tuesday\, September 5\, 2023. We will gather at the Walker Lake parking lot and proceed to the lake together. Register at www.fsolph.org/events/ (We do ask that you please sign up with all contact information\, so that we can text you easily in case of inclement weather. This also allows us to send you an email reminder one day and one hour before the event.) The Season of Creation is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration\, conversion\, and commitment together. During the Season of Creation\, we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in prayer and action for our common home. As the people of God\, we must work together on behalf of all Creation\, as part of that mighty river of peace and justice. The theme for 2023 is from Amos 5:24. “Prophet Amos cries out: ‘But let justice roll on like a river\, righteousness like a never-failing stream!’ (Amos 5: 24) and so we are called to join the river of justice and peace\, to take up climate and ecological justice\, and to speak out with and for communities most impacted by climate injustice and the loss of biodiversity.” See https://seasonofcreation.org for more information about this month of celebration and outreach. \n\n\n\nRegistration Information: \n\n\n\nwww.fsoph.org/events/

SUMMARY:Active Hope for All of Creation Retreat at Prairiewoods
DESCRIPTION:Embody our interconnection with all beings through the wisdom of Saint Francis and the Work That Reconnects! In a time where separation and exploitation seem to dominate our relationships with other beings and our planet\, the spiritual and ecological teachings that we are all connected\, that we are all kin\, is balm for our souls. Embodying this knowing is healing for ourselves and for the planet. This retreat at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) will be facilitated by Work That Reconnects Facilitator Kathleen Rude. Together we will combine the spiritual teaching of Saint Francis\, the patron saint of ecology\, and the transformative wisdom of the Work That Reconnects to explore our interdependence with all life. We will invite fellow species to speak through us in the beloved ceremony\, The Council of All Beings. We will spend time in the woods and prairies to hear what Earth is inviting us to embrace and to receive inspiration and healing for our weary\, overwhelmed hearts and souls. In supportive community\, we will honor our pain for the world\, reconnect to active hope and find clarity around how we can play a part in the healing of our beautiful planet. This retreat includes experiential practices\, mask making\, movement\, inspirational readings and simple rituals. It’s engaging\, invigorating and gives us tools for dealing with the challenges of living in difficult times. The cost of this weekend retreat is $230 and includes sessions\, lodging and all meals. The commuter fee is $180 and includes Saturday lunch and dinner\, and Sunday lunch. For more information or to register\, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700. \n\n\n\nRegistration Information: \n\n\n\nRegister at https://pw.retreatportal.com/calendar/event?programcode=23PGR25315

SUMMARY:Current Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, September 12 at 6:30 PM Central time\, as we view and discuss three mini-documentaries from the Current Revolution Series: The Transformation Cannot be Stopped\, Nation in Transition\, and Workforce Rising. Register today for this free opportunity!According to the website https://www.amresproject.org\, American Resilience Project’s new film series tackles the challenge of how the utility\, auto\, tech\, and defense industries can help modernize the aging power grid to make it more secure and responsive to the needs of its users while enhancing environmental performance. With a focus on national security\, economic prosperity\, and environmental justice\, the films\, and campaigns will show how the nation can embrace smart policies and investments that support grid modernization through distributed renewable energy generation and the development of an electric vehicle infrastructure. We will also explore the work of the Navajo Nation in the utility supplies of the American Southwest\, often to their own peril. Could renewable energy provide opportunities to build an infrastructure that provides more for all?Franciscans For Earth (FFE) was created by the Franciscan Sisters of Our Lady of Perpetual Help to educate\, advocate and collaborate on behalf of our Common Home and all its inhabitants.
