We don’t talk much about the strength and courage it takes to be seen for who we are and how we want to be in the world.  Tomorrow is National Coming Out Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day.  We can learn much about taking that leap of unrelenting hope.  Special music will be provided by members of the Chalice Choir.

On Monday, October 11, at 10:00 a.m., we invite you to participate in the VIRTUAL WAMPANOAG ANCESTORS WALK available on Facebook Live.  This will be followed by a vigil on the church lawn from 11:30 to 12:00 for anyone interested in participating. You are encouraged to bring a sign in support of Indigenous people to hold as we stand in solidarity with the people on whose ancestral land our church sits and who are still our neighbors today.  Any questions, please contact Natalie Johnson after October 2, Sandy Smiley or Rev. Sarah.

Links will be sent out for this event in Updates.

The “course” is over public roads.  The teams follow directions and solve clues.  It is not a race.   Scoring penalizes speeding.  The team that drives the course in the time and distance closest to the targets and correctly answers the most “Point
