Community Event: Strawberry Thanksgiving & Communion

Strawberry Thanksgiving & Communion is a special event supported by an ecumenical team of organizers including MCC Ontario and is open to anyone interested in reflecting on reconciliation, land, and relationship through ceremony and story.
The gathering will be led by Adrian Jacobs, Cayuga Nation of the Six Nations Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Adrian will lead a reflection on the Spiritual Covenant, which is a symbolic agreement that helps a faith community take steps towards mutual respect and financial repair. In Haudenosaunee culture, strawberries are celebrated as the first fruit of the season in ceremonies of gratitude, and we will share strawberry juice together in communion. The registration fee ($20) includes a delicious lunch of Indian Tacos.
An opportunity to gather, listen, and participate in a meaningful act of relationship and learning.
