Chalice Lighting
Excerpt of longer piece by Rev. Sara Eileen LaWall
May we remember our shared humanity
Our universal kinship; our interdependence
As we unclench our fists and breathe together
Breathing in love and breathing out peace
May we recognize the spark of the divine inside all of us
Even those we are not quite sure about
In this time of uncertainty
We remember the good will go on
As we work to move forward together
We the people
Seeking that which unites us
With our arms reaching out wide
For life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
May love prevail.
Friday, November 15th – 7:00 p.m. PT (via Zoom)
World’s Most Hopeful Construction Site:
Update on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing
Lauren Gill
National Wildlife Federation – California Deputy Director
The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills will be one of the largest wildlife crossings in the world. Decades of study and planning have led to this remarkable collaborative project which will re-establish ecological connectivity for a multitude of native plant and animal species in the Santa Monica Mountains ecosystem.
“I believe these crossings go beyond mere conservation, toward a kind of environmental rejuvenation that is long overdue.” -- Wallis Annenberg
Topics to include:
· Why a wildlife crossing?
· How this project came together
· Construction and updates
· Cougar P-22’s Legacy
Co-sponsors: #SaveLACougars & National Wildlife Federation
