What could happen if. you join.jpg
First Thanksgiving.jpg

In a fragile, fleeting autumn of 1621, under the canopy of a broad New England sky, two distinct worlds paused to share the warmth of a fire, bound together by the universal language of survival, gratitude, and community. Despite the epidemic that had swept through his people, leaving his home village silent and empty, Squanto brought over fifty men to join, a handful of surviving English settlers—weakened by a brutal first winter that had claimed half their number.  

​

Together, for three days, the boundary between two vast cultures dissolved over glowing embers and the plenty of corn, squash, venison, turkey, duck, cooked fish, boiled cornmeal, and sweet stewed pumpkins.  And so the first nation welcomed the new soon to be nation of immigrants. 

 

Each year we rejoice in that encounter and celebrate with friends, family and even some invite an immigrant or a stranger.    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
