🌿 Sacred Ground: Unbound 🌿We live in a world that often feels like it’s on edge - anxious, weary, and longing for hope. On Shrove Tuesday, we gather to pause, pray, and listen for the voice of Christ who calls us out of fear and into life. 📖 Rooted in John 11:1-44, this Sacred Ground service will include music, prayer, silence, reflection, and space to name what still binds us, and to hear Christ’s word of freedom. 📍 Nashwaaksis United Church Sanctuary 🕯️ Tuesday, February 17 🕖 7:00 PM🥞 Following the Shrove Tuesday pancake supper Come as you are. Stand on sacred ground. All are welcome
