During this Season we’re paying attention to the trees we encounter each day; we’ve been using the TREE WALKING GUIDES provided by Seattle Park Department to view specific species of trees “in person’ in West Seattle parks and neighborhoods; we’ve been READING about the forest communities that function above and below the ground, and the amazing roles trees play in making our planet home more habitable; we’ve been LISTENING to what Lynda Mapes, author of Witness Tree: Seasons of Change with a Century-Old Oak, has to say about trees and climate change.
On this third and final Sunday of our series we’ll introduce two marvelous hymns by Susan Palo Cherwien and become privy to images and art that embroider the overall message we’ve sought to share. We’ll learn how an ancient Douglas fir tree inspired Dana Lyons to write a song and how, as a result of process, The Tree, has taken on a life of its own. Our Service will include a virtual performance of The Tree, arranged and produced by Bronwyn Edwards for choir, flute, and cello. (Look for several familiar faces among the performers.)
