  • Our Climate Narratives — Aaron Thiessen
    2025/08/26

    On August 24, in honour of the Season of Creation, our worship took place outdoors so we could feel the sun on our skin, take in the flowers... and experience the WIND.

Here, in his last sermon before heading off on sabbatical, Aaron offers a window into the narrative themes he's noticed among Gen Alpha, specifically regarding the climate crisis, holding them alongside the story of the Emmaus Road (Luke 24:13-35).

    What deeper story is the church telling in a time of impending climate crisis?
