“Preparing Our Hearts: Ingathering 2023”
Join us for our annual Ingathering Service that celebrates community and prepares us for the year ahead. The centerpiece of our service is the Water Ceremony, a ritual that symbolizes our return to community after a time of rest and renewal.
In this multigenerational service we will also have our traditional Blessing of the Backpacks. This year our blessing will be revisited and renewed on the first Sunday of each month as we follow the arc of our last year of Interim ministry and prepare to call our next settled minister in June.
Service is followed by a garden party and an opportunity for the community to gather in celebration and continue the Water Ceremony for those who wish to share their offering at the fountain after service.
