Nov. 2: Creation Care Book Read
Exploring the awesome wonders of the natural world is a powerful way to find hope and inspiration in these turbulent times.
Join the Plymouth Creation Care & Justice Committee as we discuss the book, “World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies, Whale Sharks, and Other Astonishments”, by Aimee Nezhukumatathil.
Through a series of personal essays based on her own research and travels, the author explores the mysteries and eccentricities of some of God’s often overlooked yet wonderous creatures, from narwals to touch-me-not-plants, and shows us the lessons we can learn from them.
Pick up a copy of the book at the Welcome Desk (free while supplies last) or buy at Beaverdale Bookstore. Copies also are available at Des Moines area libraries.
Read through the book and then plan to join us on Sunday, Nov. 2 from 4-5:30 p.m. in Common Grounds for a conversation lead by Cathy McMullen, a faculty member at ISU’s Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management.
