June 14 - 9:30am
Indigenous Art Quilt Dedication
June is National Indigenous History Month and we are celebrating by dedicating a beautiful Indigenous Art Quilt for our worship space. The quilt was designed and sewn by Riva Nelson, using authentic Anishinaabe motifs. Riva 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 the meaning behind the piece.
On the morning of June 14, we invite everyone to gather in the narthex at 9:30am., where the quilt will be unveiled on the Art Wall. Cari K. will offer a blessing through a smudging ceremony, and together we will further bless 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.
