Essex Forest Church

We seek to find the presence of God in the open air and in nature, and to connect with the Divine Being who is present in creation. We seek to foster a love of creation, a love which will lead us to care for it. We look for reconciliation between nature and human beings, and within human relationships.

We plan to meet about eight times a year, around the annual cycle of solstices and equinoxes, a pattern with which Christian festivals and seasons coincide. When we gather we shall

• Appreciate out physical surroundings, and seek to learn from nature’s lessons
• Seek to connect with the presence of the divine in creation through stories, poetry, reflections, and listening to one another
• Welcome people of any age and of any religious or spiritual tradition
• Share in refreshments
