Art: “Veriditas” by Wendy L. Fletcher

Join the Reverend Melanie Calabrigo and the Reverend Cal Morgan to share poetry and music focused on joy and hope.

A gentle gathering for kindred souls seeking rest and an infusion of goodness, with poetry and tea at 3:00pm. Bring a friend! The event is free.

This is one of three Sundays — the others are October 25 and November 1. “Poetry and Tea” is the first in a series from the St. Hildegard’s Sanctuary community on the practice of “Joy as Resistance”: offerings meant as a counterbalance for a time when many are feeling unsettled and grieving together.

St. Hildegard’s Sanctuary is an affirming, creative, contemplative Christian community that embraces art and beauty as soulful, joyful practices.
