Our faith calls us to acknowledge the truth of our history\, to name the ongoing harms of settler colonialism\, and to work toward repair. We commit to being in right relationship with the Massachusett and other Indigenous peoples\, particularly the Mashpee and Aquinnah Wampanoag\, and to finding meaningful ways to offer our resources as we work in solidarity to build a more sustainable future for us all.\n\n  \nFor more information please visit the IJWG webpage and check out the Acknowledging This Land handout for highlights of our process and action to date.  URL:https://www.firstparish.info/event/land-acknowledgment-listening-sessions/ LOCATION:Zoom CATEGORIES:Land Acknowledgement,Social Justice END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240124T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240124T100000 DTSTAMP:20260406T012718 CREATED:20230825T181609Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250710T163402Z UID:10000427-1706086800-1706090400@www.firstparish.info SUMMARY:Wednesday Lectio Divina DESCRIPTION:Lectio Divina is a method of reading and listening\, lingering with\, and sharing personal responses to selected texts from the Bible or other sources.
