This upcoming virtual gathering will focus on “Making Meaning.”

After a year of radical change that has upended old habits and created suffering, it is time to grapple with what it means to put our civic values into practice to make meaning together as citizens.

Civic Saturday is a civic ritual – an analogue to a faith gathering. It does not aim to replace faith traditions, instead, these gatherings serve as a time for us to nurture a spirit of shared purpose, wrestle with moral questions, and develop a sense of civic character. Using poetry, song, civic readings, and a civic “sermon,” all who believe in the power of showing up for each other in civic life are welcome!
