Welcome to Peace and the Season of Creation: RIVERS!

The great rivers of our land not only return the rain and snow back to the sea, they are life-bringing highways, concentrating and distributing nutrients, feeding wildlife, irrigating crops, transporting fish, and shaping the landscape; sources of the fresh water upon which all life depends.  Rivers are the circulatory system of Planet Earth.

In this third and final week of the series, we focus on one particular river, Seattle’s only river–the Duwamish.  To help us unpack this river’s complex and traumatic history and its possible future, we’re joined today by BJ Cummings, author of The River that Made Seattle, and James Rasmussen, Duwamish Tribal leader and Duwamish Superfund Manager.

Echoing the words of the prophet Ezekiel, St. John the Seer reveals God’s vision: The time is coming when creation will be restored, and a river, bright as crystal, will flow directly from God.  Trees of life will grow on either side of the river, bringing healing to all nations on Earth.  Jesus envisioned this river as the gift of the Holy Spirit, pouring like a stream from the heart of the believer.  What is your relationship with the streams and rivers that surround the place you live?

Our Live Stream Service for WEEK THREE of the RIVERS SERIES can be found HERE, beginning at 9:30am on 6/20/21.
