Autumn Worship in the Wild at Cromwell Valley Park

As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, we invite you to step off the beaten path and into the vibrant beauty of creation for another Worship in the Wild gathering with Greg Cochran at Cromwell Valley Park in Parkville, MD.

Greg brings rich experience from his time in traditional church pulpits and a deep appreciation for the great outdoors. He offers a unique time of worship that blends spiritual reflection with the gifts of nature present in the moment, while gently guiding participants along a trail where each step becomes part of a sacred journey.

Rooted in the ancient rhythm of Christian Sunday worship and expressed through inclusive and expansive language, this time of gathering in the sanctuary of nature offers space for all to encounter the Divine—whether named as God, Spirit, or another sacred presence. Readings and reflections will draw from a variety of spiritual traditions and sacred texts, honoring the wisdom that surrounds us.

We will gather at the bridge near the parking lot at the Willow Grove Nature Center (east entrance of Cromwell Valley Park). The ability to walk for a mile and stand for ten minutes at a time along the trail is required. Please dress comfortably and wear good walking shoes. This offering is free, but please register for planning purposes and so that we can notify you if worship is cancelled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances. Thank you!
