Moments of Celebration: Our Family Tree

Families come in all shapes and sizes. Some families are big with lots of family members. Others are smaller and may have few family members. Families change, too. But all families ”“ big and small ”“ belong to God's big family. We are all connected.

Moments of Celebration can come as planned events or as delight-filled surprises. Such moments can take hours or just a few minutes. These moments can occur in a designated location or anywhere at all.

The series Moments of Celebration shows how our experience of celebrating in the seemingly ordinary events of every day connects with, and deepens, the formal rituals that are core to the sacramental life of our Church community. Likewise, the formal rituals give shape and name to our experience of the God who comes to us ”˜disguised as our life'. (Richard Rohr)
