June 14 - 9:30am
Indigenous Art Quilt Dedication
June is National Indigenous History Month and we are celebrating by dedicating a beautiful Reconciliation Quilt featuring Anishnaabe art fabric panels by for our worship space. The quilt was designed and sewn by Riva Nelson who is a member of the Capiliano Quilters and a former member of Gloria Dei. She will share a few words with us about her creative process and how the quilt invites us to deepen our commitment to reconciliation.
On the morning of June 14, we invite everyone to gather in the narthex at 9:30am. Cari K. will offer a blessing through a smudging ceremony, and together we will further bless and dedicate the quilt with a responsive litany. Riva, along with representatives from the Capilano Quilters have been invited as our special guests for this meaningful occasion.
