Porchfest is this Saturday!

We’re thrilled to be on the schedule and on the map hosting one of our long-time space-sharing partners, Chattasings, from 11:15-12:00 pm in the Thankful garden at the corner of 43rd and Alabama Ave for a family-friendly singing circle.

Please join us in community & song!*

Experience the magic of no-prep, all-voices-welcome, intergenerational singing (more info below)! And while you're at it, enjoy homemade Ukrainian pryaniky, coloring sheets, rainbow chalk, & more! We'll also have labyrinth instructions on hand!

Chattasings offers a unique opportunity for everyone to engage in the joy of community singing! This participatory experience is one where ALL voices, ages, and humans are welcome as songs are taught in a simple call-and-echo style, and participants are quickly singing fun rounds and layer songs in glorious harmony. Come sing with us; you’ll leave lighter than when you arrived.
*We have plenty of chairs and benches for those who are most comfortable sitting! And we'll be on hand to assist anyone with a wheelchair or walker in accessing the garden from the corner of 43rd & Alabama Ave. Questions or concerns! Please don't hesitate to reach out!

Please mark your calendars and plan on joining in the fun!

From Rev. Sarah:

Dear Beloved of Thankful,

Out of an abundance of caution and due to inclement weather forecasted for today and tomorrow, *we will not be holding an in-person Sunday service tomorrow morning at Thankful Memorial.*

We will instead *gather together online via Zoom for Morning Prayer at 10:00 am* (with a homily) followed by fellowship afterward.

Choir Rehearsal and Christian Formation (Adult and Children) classes and all in-person church programming will not gather this Sunday.

Pour yourself a warm drink and find a cozy place to sit and join us for prayer in the morning. Stay safe, check on your neighbors, and be well!

Peace in Christ,
Sarah+
