Strawberry Thanksgiving and Communion – June 14th

This is a special community event featuring Adrian Jacobs of the Turtle Clan, Cayuga Nation, sharing on the Spiritual Covenant—a reflection on land, relationship and reconciliation. Includes a thanksgiving with strawberries—the first fruit of the season and a sacred gift in Haudenosaunee culture, as well as sharing communion and a delicious lunch together.

Adrian Jacobs will describe what he calls the Spiritual Covenant – choosing to acknowledge Indigenous jurisdiction over lands and paying an annual token lease payment. But it's more than just money—it's about a heartfelt transformation through collective participation in building relationships.
