In a time of uncertainty, change, and loss, rituals can be a great help.  There are rituals for big things in life: weddings, funerals, and birthdays, and we can create rituals for anything.

As a pastor, I have created and/or led rituals for home blessings, for friends moving, for leaving a home, and more.  In seminary, my classmates and I studied rituals and created them for life events.

As you continue in this pandemic, let me know if I can help you create a ritual.  It might be a way to lament something that you’ve lost or given up, something like a trip, graduation, or even a job.  Please reach out, catherine@mygpc.org
