In these complicated times, we remember and honor peacemakers, writers, artists and spiritual leaders who have been committed to countering violence and fear with peaceful words, actions, and creativity. We look for ways to find and create peaceful moments in our own lives, and spread peace through small and larger acts.
Rev. Telos Whitfield serves the Universalist Society of Strafford and works as thrift store manager for the Southeastern Vermont Community Action. Working for peace has been a path she has followed for decades, including a 300 mile peace walk for nuclear disarmament in 1987, managing the Earth Charter Celebration in 2001, attending multiple retreats with Buddhist peace leader Thich Nhat Hanh, and completing his 14 mindfulness trainings program. She has also folded thousands of peace cranes over the years!
At our Souper Sunday fund raiser after the service we'll have several choices of hearty soups and breads available. The cost is $4 and if necessary, soup can be taken home. This is a good way to get to know our congregation members in a relaxed atmosphere.
All welcome - newcomers and guests get a free soup meal.
Held at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 21 Fairground Road, Springfield, VT.
