Land acknowledgement is one way to resist erasure of indigenous histories as well as honoring the tribes and the land itself. We give thanks that the land we’re on is daily blessed and honored by the dxʷsqʷali?-abš (Nisqually) and dxʷč̓ač̓ʔaɬ -abš (Now part of the Squaxin Island Tribes) and their ancestors.
As we enter 2022 we take stock of what we’ve accomplished but also look forward to what needs to be done.
These 5 resolutions are the framework around which we will be organizing our activities and funding.
We hope to provide several opportunities for you to join us in celebrating God’s creation.
Worship is like a drama: The clergy, ministers and musicians are the prompters, the people are the actors, and God is the audience.
- Søren Kierkegaard
At St Benedict we celebrate with awe and obligation in a construct called liturgy. Liturgy is a Greek word that means “the work of the people.” Our services are focused through scripture reading, song, prayers, preaching, and the liturgy of the table, known also as Holy Eucharist.
