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.

A Call to Community Around Cancer
Pink Sunday occurs each year in October. As this Breast Cancer tradition has flourished, there has been an increase in attention toward all types of cancer. So, in the tradition of Pink Sunday -this service is created in awareness, loving support and in tribute to victims of all cancers - including friends, family members and care-givers.
Please consider wearing something Pink or another color associated with cancer and join us . . . as we offer our prayerful presence and energy for all whose lives have been touched by cancer.
We will welcome back Carol Moeller, from Carol's Hope. She, as well as some of the Children and Family Members, who have received support and love from this organization, will join us. Together, they will offer our reflection.
And, as the summer season has come to an end, perhaps you have found some 'gently used' items that you no longer find useful. Carol's Hope Thrift Shop can help! Pack up you donation, bring it along, so that we in-turn, can help!
Carol Moeller is the creative founder and Executive Director of the non-profit Carol's Hope - an organization helping families of children with cancer in the Spartanburg area of South Carolina.
