All God's Children 

Join the Western Conference of Greater Milwaukee Synod for a “Wild Church” worship event!

Sunday, May 21st, 2:00 PM

Lapham Peak State Park, Homestead Outdoor Shelter

W329 N846, County Trunk Hwy C, Delafield, WI


“I’d rather be in the mountains thinking about God

than in a church thinking about mountains.”


John Muir


There is a new movement happening in the United States that is called

“Wild Church.” There are over 200 churches that currently call themselves Wild

Churches. On Sunday, May 21 at 2 pm the Lake Country Cluster, with the

blessing and support of the Greater Milwaukee Synod’s Mission Table, will be

hosting a Wild Church Worship event at Lapham Peak State Park, in the

Homestead outdoor shelter. This is a time to experience this way of worshiping

and wonder together about how this approach might be a blessing to

congregations across the synod!

At our Wild Church worship, you will experience stories of awe. You might

help build a nature altar. You will learn to “hear like a deer”. You will sing with

other lovers of nature. You will pray a Celtic prayer. You will learn how Jesus

used creation to renew himself. You will experience an interactive nature

spirituality message. There will be refreshments and time to walk or hike

afterward. There is no cost to come and be part of this opportunity.

The early church scholar Eriugena said that there are two books of

revelation through which God teaches, the small book of scripture and the large

book of creation. We should not ignore the revelation of creation. Wild Church

loves the scriptures but seeks to learn from the creation of God all around us.

Jesus was a Wild Church evangelist. He almost never went to the city to renew

himself. He always went to the wilderness, desert or a mountain to be close to

God.

Pastor Larry Harpster, the interim pastor at All Saints Lutheran Church in

Wales, WI will be leading the service. He is a known crazy nature person who

loves fishing, hiking, Celtic spirituality, and National Parks. If you have any

questions about this event, feel free to reach out to Pr. Larry at 262-344-5942.
