We have a budget for fifteen people (youth and adults) to participate in a Blue Theology experience from June 11-15, 2025. The only cost to participants will be transportation to Pacific Grove; the grant covers everything else!
One of the opportunities for the congregation to experience renewal and reflection while Pastor Leslie is on sabbatical, this will be a great way to begin our time of reflection and renewal while caring for creation at the same time.
Blue Theology was founded in Pacific Grove, California as a mission of the Christian Church of Pacific Grove (Disciples of Christ). Blue Theology is a place where current science in marine biology meets a theology of justice for God's creation. Groups engage in experiential learning, service projects and contemplative practice with God's marine creation.
The church is located on the Monterey Bay Peninsula, a sanctuary for both marine life and our human community. The bay is home to harbor seals, humpback whales, octopuses, otters, and more. The church is walking distance to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Monterey Bay is known for its ecological resurrection story: from an overfished and dying ecosystem to a vibrant, thriving, and biodiverse marine sanctuary.
We hope you will join us June 11-15 for a week of learning and serving in Pacific Grove, CAl Please sign up with Andie in the church office.
