Sacred Traditions And Rituals a call to connection
Since 1997, Sacred Traditions And Rituals has been gathering as an inclusive worshipping community. As a ministry of community, S.T.A.R. reaches out by calling to connection all who seek the Holy and the Sacred through the wisdom of other faith traditions while celebrating their own faith and spirituality.
Led by an ordained member of the clergy, members are encouraged to participate in the leadership of rituals influenced by Creation Spirituality — including music, art, dance, drama, prayerful contemplation, poetry, and prose.
As a caring and compassionate community, S.T.A.R. participates in service and mission efforts and addresses environmental concerns — in the local and broader community. A large share of each month’s offering is designated for outreach, particularly the Sack-Gift-Collection, items given for special community projects.
Hosted by Central United Methodist Church in Spartanburg, South Carolina, Sacred Traditions And Rituals welcomes everyone, regardless of faith background, spiritual preference, or involvement in another denomination.

Sacred Traditions And Ritiuals
Objects that symbolize our treasured memories exist in many forms . . . a small stone or photo - from a favorite and loved spot or with someone special; a piece of poetry, prose or letter - that illuminates a truth in our heart; a painting, piece of pottery or fiber art - created as love gifts or anything . . . that when seen or touched - enables us to revisit the story and experience the warmth again.
As part of the service, we invite everyone to bring along one of their treasured memories to display as part of our altar. Along with the object, please include a written statement on a small index-sized card, describing your treasure and its significance for you. Add your signature if you would like to have your comments shared in printed form and shared with S.T.A.R. folks later in the summer.
Throughout the service, we will be serenaded with special music by pianist, David Cato and violinist, Peter Moore - prepared for the 75th Anniversary Celebration of D-Day. And soloist, Abby Parrish will share a song or two with us.
a portion of the offering collected has been designated for Mental Health America of Spartanburg - honoring David, Peter, and Abby for sharing their creative energy with us.
