November 21 at 11am; Community Worship: Thanksgiving in the Park – Holding and Releasing the Myth

WE’LL MEET IN-PERSON
AT THE PICNIC SHELTER IN DARDEN-TOWE PARK
AT 11:00 AM on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21.
ALL ARE WELCOME, PLEASE JOIN.

OR Join Us at our Usual Zoom Link

At our all-congregation gathering outdoors in Darden Towne Center, we will celebrate the joy of community. Our “Sanctuary in Action” will include the creation of Hospital Meal Packs. And we will be invited by Rev. Linda to let go of the myth of first Thanksgivings, acknowledging the pain of the harm to native peoples, and living out together a new story of sharing food and supporting one another through a pandemic.

Please dress for the weather, wear a face mask and bring: lawn chairs or blankets for sitting, 2 mugs and a spoon for each person in your party, firewood to add to communal fire pit. Hot beverages will be served. Sign up here to bring other items including muffins and bread.
