In the Celtic year, Samhain celebrates a the end of the harvest in Gaelic culture. It is also a time when the veils between this world and the otherworld was believed to be at their thinnest and the spirit is of the dead could most readily mingle with the living once again. Christians adopted the festival and celebrated it as All Hallows’ Eve, followed by All Saints Day. To register, please contact Rev.

During Lectio Divina, the practitioner listens to the text of the Bible with the "ear of the heart," as if he or she is in conversation with God, and God is suggesting the topics for discussion. The method of Lectio Divina includes moments of reading (lectio), reflecting on (meditatio), responding to (oratio) and resting in (contemplatio) the Word of God with the aim of nourishing and deepening one's relationship with the Divine. This workshop will provide for time of meditation and sharing. Roni Murray has been practicing and sharing this ancient yet modern prayer form for over 40 years. ![]() Worship celebrating end-of-harvest season with potluck dinner preceding Dream Workshop beginning at 7 p.m. All welcome whether or not you are attending the workshop. The festival of Samhain (pronounced 'sow'inn' and the word for November in some Gaelic languages) is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes regarded as the 'Celtic New Year'. Samhain has been celebrated in Britain for centuries and has its origin in Pagan Celtic traditions. It was the time of year when the veils between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be at their thinnest: when the spirits of the dead could most readily mingle with the living once again. Later, when the festival was adopted by Christians, they celebrated it as All Hallows' Eve, followed by All Saints Day, though it still retained elements of remembering and honouring the dead.

Deborah Oosterbaan has participated in (ordained) ministry for more than 25 years, starting in Hospice of Washington,D.C. and then in both large and small Presbyterian congregations in New York and New Jersey. Two core commitments - participation by every congregational member and life long quest for learning - define her ministry.
She embraced mission and education early on and these twin pursuits animate her work and play to this day. A childhood trip to Cuba with her pastor father in 1955 made a strong impression. As a youth, she taught in "at risk" communities, originally, close to home, in Paterson, NJ and Harlem NY, then farther afield, after college in Gallup,NM with two Native American Nations. A Graduate of Calvin College, she was one of the first women to give a chapel talk there and went on to earn two Masters from Wesley Seminary, one in biblical studies and a second in divinity in the 1980's. She turned to ministry full time after teaching in various high schools, raising a family, instructing piano, directing choirs and introducing the Bible as literature in various Protestant churches in the Washington, D. C. area. She has specialized in organizing and leading tailored retreats, conversations and gatherings for church groups, people in transition and individuals seeking discernment or "alternative religious education." She continues to explore what it means to be "in service" and to be a "spriritual guide." Deborah trusts in the wonder of nurture in every aspect of life with many different kinds of people or alone in her garden. Deborah has been a member of the Sabbath House Discernment Team since 2014. |
