CHARLIE BROUWER'S "BENEDICTION PROJECT"

Roanoke Monthly Meeting is joining area churches in participating in the Benediction Project by sculptor Charlie Brouwer. The sculpture represents a person with their arms upraised in blessing. It symbolizes an opportunity for faith groups to focus on caring and connections with our communities and provides an opportunity to reflect on "How do we care for our community? How are we a blessing to others?"

A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER OF ROANOKE MONTHLY MEETING

Spring Edition 2023

These beautifully decorated eggs are an age-old Ukrainian tradition. They are made, not by paint- ing the designs but by “writing” them with wax, a technique similar to batik. .  .
Ukrainian legend holds that as long as pysanky are made, good will prevail over evil!
