Workshop: Explore Celtic Christianity
Sep

6:30 PM18:30

Workshop: Explore Celtic Christianity

The Celtic Christian tradition is enjoying a resurgence. Some see it as an alternative to the imperial Christianity that emerged from the Roman Empire, since Ireland was never colonized by Rome. Holistic, creation-centered, and mystical, Celtic Christianity also has striking resonance with Indigenous spiritual traditions. Come dip your toe into this ancient spiritual stream with Pr. Janet Parker, who recently returned from a pilgrimage to Ireland with Pastor Robyn. Explore the Celts’ reverence for creation, the life of St. Brigid, and Celtic values of hospitality, compassion, and respect for women’s leadership. Pastor Janet will also introduce several Celtic spiritual practices for everyday life. We will start at the labyrinth at 6:30 pm for an introduction, then move indoors to the entry hall. RSVP to Pastor Janet

Memorial for Elsie Johnston

Beloved member Elsie Johnston left behind a legacy of loving… to the precious grandchildren she brought to church with her (Brittany, Garrett, Quinn, and Lydia), her own children, the uncertain mother of an active neurodiverse kid, strangers who became friends, and everyone she encountered. She was a legendary affirmer, and we will miss her presence in our community. Join us for a memorial service to celebrate her life on Friday, August 28 at 10 am. Her family welcomes you to dress colorfully, as Elsie loved color and beauty.
