We Are From
We are from the depth and
beauty of nature; we are from near and far and from bringing man beliefs
and faiths together in service and understanding. We are from a sacred
building, wind chimes and bells calling us to worship. We are from
cold mornings and thoughts of warm coffee below. We are from a
village steeped in history, a sanctuary full of memory, passion and
possibility.
We are from
dumplings and quiche, deviled eggs galore, fair trade chocolate, good
cooks and homegrown tomatoes. We are from Nadine's Lunch Bunch,
Jeanette's feast and Annie's dinner, Nancy's abundant gardening, Debbie's
Coffee Hour marvels and cider in the fall. We are from the ritual
and tradition of the Sedar and all of its food, and we are from sharing.
We go in peace
and so it shall be, from nameste, shalom and love is the spirit of this
church. We are from love, care and seek peace. We are from
blessed be and agreeing to disagree, We are from thank you please,
and amen.
We are from
watching out for everyone's children and knowing that they are all yours
and ours. We are from Dutch settlers seeking to end slavery; we are
from families that questioned and leaders that inspired. We are from
Pratts, Bergs, Vanderkemps, Mappas, Wardels, Landeckers, Christianas,
Bradburys and many more to come. We are from a world of ambition,
unity and appreciation for all of our unique qualities and the
interconnected web of life. |
