Our thanks to Trumpeter, Christina Kuepfer, and Piper, Henry Muth for sharing their talent with us in our worship this morning.
We gather on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishnaabeg and the Haudenosaunee Peoples. We are also on lands that are part of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum. We live and work, worship, learn and meet on lands that are the traditional territory of many different Indigenous Peoples who were here before the establishment of European colonies.
