Honoring Truth Tellers

a service and candlelight vigil devoted to reflecting the truth

​

Sunday Evening, November 13^th

6:00 pm

Join us for the third of our three-year rotating tradition of ‘Honoring’ services. 

As our services on the second Sunday each November, Honor Mystics & Prophets and Honor Heretics, this is the year we Honor Truth Tellers. 

What is truth?  How do we define it?

Where do we find it?

What is our responsibility? 

How do we get into the habit of truth-telling?

Who are those who reflect the Truth?

We welcome Fayssoux Mclean & Randy Foster who will highlight our exploration of these questions with special music and Sylvie Parris who will share her creatively poetic words.

Then … we will be invited to light a candle identifying a Truth Teller and signifying our commitment to doing the same & to being one, too.

Please bring along a Friend or two and join us for this special moment-in-time!

Our time together will offer an opportunity to join together in prayerful meditation and reflection centering on a symbol, idea, reflection or need. 

Incorporated into the service are contemplative prayers & silence; music & chants as well as sharing a sweet and a sip of bitter green tea – a sign of harmony & balance … both necessary for quieting minds, opening hearts and soothing souls.

15 Years:  Taking Time And Creating Space For Peace And Healing

a service devoted to being peacemakers and healers

6:00 pm

 

Our gathering will provide a Sacred Space to commemorate the tragedy we encountered 15 years ago and the “peacelessness” that continues to confront our lives and our world today. 

Together, as part of the service, we will experience an intentional sharing of our peacemaking and healing energy creating a moment-in-time to locate that Center of Peace within ourselves. 

We will Hear the prayers from Labyrinth Pilgrims, left on the altars throughout the weekend.  Then, we will create Prayer Ribbons of Peace as reminders that, indeed, peace and healing begins with me! 

We Look Forward To Seeing You at the Labyrinth and at the Service
