Water Ceremony and Trauma: Remembering and Healing

We will gather in our annual Homecoming service, during which we bring water to mingle in a common vessel, representing the community in which we share our lives and our experiences.  Please bring a small amount of water to pour into the common vessel.  It can be from a special place or from your kitchen faucet.  If you forget, water will be available for you to use in the ceremony.  Our Procession of the Waters will include our RE children, who will then proceed to their RE class. Our Choir will sing.

 

~Open hearts, open minds, room for all theologies, including yours~

 

We are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person. Masks are optional, but strongly encouragedIf you are at risk from Covid, please wear an N95 mask. If you are not at risk, please wear a mask for the safety of other members of the fellowship. Everyone should practice social distancing (6 feet apart).

 

There will be a Potluck lunch following the service in Fellowship Hall. Bring a dish to share. We will hear from the Visioning Committee and discuss their recommendations.
