The Stewardship Ministry has compiled a “Gratitude Journal” that will be made available for everyone on a table outside the sanctuary or contact the office if you’d like to have a gratitude journal sent to you. The Gratitude Journal prompts are also available to download It is meant to be a daily journal where you can spend five minutes a day thinking of the things for which you are grateful. There will be prompts to help you get the ball rolling such as: Things I love, What brings me joy, and What positive things have happened in the course of my day.

​​​Book Club: The Serviceberry, August 9, 2025, 10am

What is a Serviceberry? It is a bush or shrub with edible purple berries that come in nine
varieties. The author of this book, Robin Wall Kimmerer, is a Native American botanist and professor, who uses this

lesser known berry to explain the gifts of plants and how to receive them.
The Serviceberry, argues that we should move away from an economy and life built around exploiting the natural world

to a gift economy based on mutual flourishing and gratitude. The serviceberry is a common tree and is an example of

how one plant provides nourishment for people, deer and for birds who spread serviceberry seeds, while the trees

sustain bees who pollinate their flowers and microorganisms around its roots.
Plants have a delicate relationship with their surroundings. We can learn a lot from plants, and we should show our

thanks for their gifts to us. She suggests to us a more generous and gracious way of life and thinking.
This book, published in 2025, is 128 pages and includes lovely illustrations. (Kimmerer’s Braiding Sweetgrass is a

larger work and highly recommended reading.) Please join the book club for an interesting discussion with many life lessons from plants that relate to many facets of modern life.
