Each month (usually the 4th Sundays), we intentionally set aside time to connect with God & one another through nature. We have explored trails, parks & beaches, hosted farm work days, and even kayaked together. Our March Church in the Wild will take place at the Jacksonville Arboretum & Botanical Gardens (1445 Millcoe Rd, 32225). Stay to the left when you enter and look for us in the picnic table area. Bring a folding chair or blanket and make plans to join us. There is a $3 per person entrance fee and we are glad to cover that if it creates a financial challenge for you. Do note, CITW is happening on the 5th Sunday this month.

**If this is your first CITW gathering, welcome! During most CITW gatherings, we begin with some kind of centering readings, then are sent into nature to listen. We bring back a "sermon from the wild" (what did we hear/see/notice? what was nature inviting us to know/be/do?) and return for a time of sharing. Here is a sample gathering guide.
