Fall Gathering of Green Pastures Quarterly Meeting Saturday, Sept. 16
The Fall Gathering of Green Pastures Quarterly Meeting will take place on Saturday, September 16, at Michigan Friends Center (7748 Clarks Lake Rd, Chelsea). Worship and business meeting in the morning will be followed by lunch (provided) and an afternoon session consisting of a land and water blessing for the Friends Lake Community’s property, with ritual drumming at lakeside. We hope to respond with a land acknowledgement that recognizes it historically as Indigenous homeland and says that we intend to do what we can to be in right relation to all living beings in this place and beyond. All are invited to participate.
During GPQM’s Meeting for Business, a draft statement of land acknowledgement and future intentions will be considered for adoption. Please see below for this statement, a Zoom link, the schedule, and a description of the afternoon activities.
