Plan with other places of worship, community partners in your area, local museums, historical societies, or other groups in your context. A community of faith I was with this past weekend announced their July event. Local clergy has been meeting since February and have year-long plans of celebrations including multiple communities of faith coming together for worship at a historical village followed by a picnic lunch and tours of the historical village, harvest thanksgiving, Advent events, winter wonders, Lent and Easter events, spring socials … Food, fun, festivities, book studies, music, memories all are stirring up excitement. Be sure to share your ideas. You can reach me by email at sballantyne@united-church.ca or by phone 705 875-8837. Let’s grow together with deep spirituality, bold discipleship and daring justice.
