Pope Francis’ Second Encyclical, Laudato Si’, Care for Our Common Home, encourages us to see how “everything is connected.”

The way we treat the Earth is a reflection of how we treat each other.

Church of the Incarnation will be holding a community screening of “The Letter”, a film by Laudato Si’ Movement, featuring Pope Francis and five leaders representing the voices of indigenous people, the youth and scientists on the frontline of the climate crisis coming together to discuss the need for action to save our precious common home.

The screening will be on Thursday, September 12th from 6:30-8:30PM in the Conference Room.

The evening will begin with prayer and end with reflection and discussion on what action we are called to take.

For more information contact Janie Pudhorodsky at 434-825-5649.

Phoebe’s Circle is a community of believers gathering in prayer and conversation to explore and support the roles of women in the Church.

We warmly invite you to An Evening of Prayer and Reflection on Tuesday, September 10th.

A light supper will be followed by Sister’s talk, some small group discussion, and end at 8:30PM.
