Sacred Traditions And  Rituals  ​a call to connection
Picture
  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.

The Languages of Love
a service devoted to how we are interpreted by love

Love is our destiny.
We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another. 
-Thomas Merton 


     Each of us communicates love in different ways, just as we receive love in different ways. It would seem then, that we tend to naturally give love in the way we prefer to receive it. That we have one particular way which speaks to us most meaningfully.
​This is our own love language.
     As part of our service, will learn more about ways of communicating love and our own particular way of doing so. Then, we will discover how to interpret the love language of others, in order to best express our love in the most meaningful way for them. 

Join us for chocolate delights following the service!
