Our ancestors broke bread together as a holy act — embodying the abundance of the earth in remembrance of the gift of life. Today, the whole congregation gathers in our annual bread service, as we invite you to share ‘sacred morsels’ with one another. To sign up to bring a bread, please visit our home page photo banner and click on the sign up link at the Sacred Morsels image.
