Ancestral Story Share: Saturday October 26, 6:00-7:00PM
The Lehigh Valley community is invited to gather in the garden with songs, photos, mental memory stories and tradition stories that have been passed down over time. There will be the opportunity to share these cherished memorabilia in small groups or as a whole. The garden will be transtormed into a space to hold such energy. Ceremony and ritual is intertwined in all of our lives all around the world in different ways. This is a chance to break from the routines that consume our day to day and gather in love with one another.
This program was made possible in part by Southside Tomorrow, a 6-year revitalization program of Community Action Development Bethlehem and the City of Bethlehem, with support from Univest Bank & Trust Co., Embassy Bank for the Lehigh Valley, People’s Security Bank and Trust, PPL Electric Utilities, and Provident Bank.
