A Harvest of Blessings
In the 23 years since it was officially established, Rolling Ridge has been a gift to many: a place to come away awhile and be refreshed, a haven where God’s creation is cherished, a harbor of community, healing and hope. Like the mountain that is its home, Rolling Ridge is ever-evolving, with many streams flowing over its landscape, moving together and then apart, acorns sprouting in one place while tall oaks lay themselves down in another: the whole creation vibrant with the changes and transitions that are part of a life story. We come together to celebrate and honor that story, to mark the changes and passages and to give thanks for the abundant harvest of blessings that is Rolling Ridge. We hope you will join us for this annual time of renewal, celebration, gratitude and community-building among the larger circle of Rolling Ridge friends.
9:30 - A Hearty Welcome with coffee, tea, warm breads, muffins,
& a basket of autumn crisp apples
10:00 - Annual Meeting to reflect on our year together
Potluck Lunch* - share a plenteous harvest of delicious, seasonal dishes
prepared by everyone who desires to nurture one another in this way.
After the festive meal enjoy Rolling Ridge - take a walk, rest in a quiet corner,
converse with companions on the journey, journal, dance...
2:00 - A Time of Thanksgiving and Blessing with Keith and Rachelle
as they go forward on the next stage of their walk together, heeding the call
to return to the city and take up new challenges there.
Joyous sing-along led by members of the Psalm 150 Singers

To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your life depends on it; and when the time comes, to let it go. — Mary Oliver |
