Living Legacy Storytelling: Celebrate the 160th year of St. John's Church in Petaluma
One of the most precious gifts any community possesses is the memory of its own past. This memory lives in our elders, who are a living link to persons and events that shaped the present, and in the stories we pass down from generation to generation. One of the great strengths of the church is this continuity of memory. It helps us understand ourselves more deeply, as members of a community that endures through time. We are bearers of an identity that, though it changes as the larger culture does, does not drift aimlessly with the shifting tides, but is anchored in place by generations of experience, and the constant work of remembering where we come from and who we are meant to be. St. John’s Vestry invites you to four community gatherings dedicated to this work.
Join us in Norm Cram Parish Hall at 530 C Street at 11:45 a.m. on Sunday, April 17. We will share a potluck lunch and hear stories from our members who experienced the years leading up to the split that took place in the church in 2006, and the rebuilding of the congregation that followed. Childcare will be provided.
