Rev. Parisa Parsa
We celebrate the theme of renewal with meditations in word and song on the things that bring us joy, tracing them all the way back to their beginnings as Ross Gay does beautifully in his book Inciting Joy. Creation Dance will offer their movement meditation on renewal and sources of joy, and we will lift up memories of those who have passed in our monthly ritual of memorial candles. Our offering will benefit the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute’s Mother’s Day Walk for Peace.
