Wild Church
Wild Church is Coming to Atonement!
Pastor Larry Harpster, coordinator of Milwaukee Wild Church, will be leading our outdoor worship on Sunday, June 14th at 10am.
Wild Church partners with and participates with nature; it lets nature contribute to the worship. Wild Church is site specific; the experience is different if you are under a large oak tree, by a lake or have a beautiful view. Wild Church gathers in a circle, if possible, to acknowledge the rhythms of the earth. It includes an interactive time in nature and a reporting back to the group of what was felt.
Check them out on Facebook for more info and other Wild Church events.
