This Sunday, October 18 at 9:15 – PILGRIMAGE TO IONA ISLAND -Recently Ashley lecturer John Philip Newell whetted our appetites for the Scottish island of Iona where St. Columba founded a monastery in the Sixth Century and which has been a pilgrimage destination for well over a thousand years. 

Pilgrimage is a form of spiritual journey. As we travel through physical time and space to places of spiritual power and inspiration, we are also on a quest to the Sacred within. Iona, a place of incomparable natural beauty, has inspired artists and theologians by its remarkable sense that God is near. Through slides and music, Linda McFadden and Philip Wiehe will describe a pilgrimage to Iona and answer questions about this special place. 

Recently received into our congregation, Rev. Linda McFadden is a retired UCC minister; Rev. Philip Wiehe, a retired Episcopal priest.
