'Pilgrimage' begins at CPC in 2 Weeks:
Sunday, July 14 - Thursday, July 18.
An All-Ages, Interactive Learning Experience
It's time to get ready to go on our Christian Pilgrimage:
It's only 2 weeks away.
We need your help!
- Small group guides: 6 adults and 6 or more youth
- Craft leaders: for paper crafts and other types (see the specific list at the SignUpGenius link, showing which crafts are on which evening)
- Games leaders: 4 or 5 adults, and several youth (one adult per evening)
About 'Pilgrimage'
Setting:
Medieval times, visit a different Christian church or shrine each evening.
What:
Learn about the Saint of the day, how they help us have a greater spirituality, and relate that to our Bible passage of the day.
How:
- Begin in the sanctuary with a storyteller presentation about the Saint and the Biblical person.
- Then meet in a small group to learn more. (For adults not wanting to take part in the Street Fair, a study will take place on the concept of pilgrimage.)
- Next, for the majority of the time, visit the Street Fair (which is like a marketplace) of the town or city of the day.
- At the Street Fair, you will meet strolling minstrels Sarah Dickson, Bill Leslie, and others)
- Try your hand at pottery with Todd Crouse and Barbara Carew
- Try your hand at calligraphy, metalworking, and other interesting crafts
- Play games outside and inside; make and eat snacks at the Baker's Booth, and more!
- Finally, return to the sanctuary for a blessing and send-off.
To register, please use the form in the Narthex or
use this link.
We look forward to seeing you!
