Each year as the seasons change, we are invited into a rhythm which helps us set the pace for the upcoming foreseen period of time whereby we can orchestrate our lives in both the macro and micro; from planning school drop-off and pick-up to extended family vacations, to stopping by the grocery store or setting the table for house guests. We depend upon this rhythm as we do the sun to rise and set, the clock to tell time, the car or bus to start, the bell to ring. Just as the sun and moon have calculated patterns of movement that allow for a rare, but expected alignment, so do our lives. It is these convergent points which we depend upon within our communal life, these intersections, which help bring shape and meaning to daily life.
At Community UCC we have our own rituals and rites of passage that help us to celebrate our joys and sorrows, important milestones and stones otherwise left unturned, and look forward to welcoming you into this shared story and space.
