SUMMARY:Weaving our Stories: Care for Creation
DESCRIPTION:Weaving Our Stories: Care for Creation \nTapestry Story Telling Zoom Gatherings \nDates: Mondays\, August 17\, 31\, September 14 – 7pm \nZoom \nIn 2026\, the Tapestry Team invites you to storytelling Zoom gatherings. Weaving Our Stories invites us to tell stories and listen deeply to one another. Each of the five Tapestry Threads will host a series of three Zooms to explore participant experiences about the focus Thread. The next thread to host a series is Care for Creation. \nTapestry’s aim is to have meaningful dialogue and learn from each other’s lives. Members of each of the focus communities\, allies\, and those seeking to learn and understand more are all invited to each of the series. It’s okay to not have all the answers and to ask vulnerable questions. Let’s weave our threads together into God’s diverse tapestry. \nParticipants do not have to attend all of the Zooms. There will be separate sign ups for each of the series. Participants can choose to attend all three Zooms in a Thread series or just the first one. \nIndividuals or congregational groups can sign up. Individuals will be grouped with others in breakout rooms for discussion. If requested\, congregational groups can be assigned their own breakout room. \nThe sessions will begin at 7pm and wrap-up by 8:15pm. The sessions will not be recorded. However\, the discussion guides will be shared as a resource for congregational or individual use. \nRegister here! \nRegistration closes on August 12.
