We will celebrate the earth with Jim’s original songs, readings and personal reflections on Mother Earth or “Gaia” being one living organism. Our “spiritual response” is so timely now, as “the spirit of life on earth is in crisis. Jim’s uplifting songs provide the balance to the wake-up call, leaving us with vision and inspiration to take the healing into our own hands. Our service will be held at Prairie Circle Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Grayslake, IL in the Bryon Colby Barn at 1561 Jones Point Road. The service will begin at 10am.
From his work with the Paul Winter Consort, where he was co-composer of their celebrated “Missa Gaia/Earth Mass” Jim has long been an activist for peace and the Earth with his music. He’s visited over 700 UU churches in four decades, and his songs are in our hymnbooks. Former Co-Chair of the UU Ministry for the Earth, Jim helped create the “Green Sanctuary” program.
