2. If you have scarves to send to General Synod, please bring them with you!
This photo was taken at the Blessing of the Scarves and Delegates at Trinity UCC on June 2.These scarves will be shared with those attending Synod who are willing to take a stand against bullying and violence. It works like this: Take a stand; get a scarf. Ask someone to take a stand; give them a scarf and go get a new one. The goal is to have 3,000 scarves to begin with and give them all away by the end of Synod.
All scarves will be taken to the Conference Annual Gathering and dedicated again during the Friday evening service of worship. If you have scarves which you have been making for this project, please bring them along to the Conference Annual Gathering for dedication.
All the scarves will be brought back to St. Louis and mailed to California on Monday, June 10. The shipping costs will be paid by St. Louis based Gateway ONA of the United Church of Christ.
