In-Person Services, Columbia, SC Sundays 11AM
As we prepare for the celebration of the spring equinox this week, we will draw inspiration from many cultural celebrations, including the festival of Ostara. Liberation, new life, and creative energy can often come by an awakening and raising of our consciousness. The equinox invites us to feel the warming earth beneath our feet and listen to the budding energy to find our own hope for rebirth and renewal.
This Father’s Day service will blend the values of faith, hope, and love, as Chip Harriford shares stories of fatherhood, the importance of Juneteenth, and his connection to the Charleston Nine.
June is Pride Month. It’s a month to recognize and accept this diverse community that is characterized by a shared culture, social movements, and a focus on individuality. An introductory discussion for the month begins with recognizing how people are different and why that’s okay. Each of us is born in a different time and place and has a different heredity and environment. The product of the choices made by those factors makes us who we are: Free to be you and me.
