“Putting aside how one feels about politics and war, the military and their families bear the burden of sacrifice during these troubled times. How does our community offer healing, solace and appreciation to the brave men and women in our Armed Forces who have returned home? How do we help them re-assimilate into their families and communities? How do we show support for these soldiers (retired and active duty) and their families who enable us to exercise our many freedoms? For those of us who have never been in combat or in the military we can only strive to fathom the depths of what these people of our community endure in war. Unless we have walked in their shoes, we can only try to understand but we can let them know they are not forgotten. They are appreciated. We honor the sacrifice and burden shared by so few for so many.
In response, and in service to these soldiers and their families, the clergy of the Abbey of Avalon, in conjunction with The GODDESS TEMPLE of Orange County, with sponsorship by the Order of the Pentacle and OperationCircle Care of Circle Sanctuary have combined efforts to offer these returning warriors and their loved ones an inter-faith ceremony invoking the divine power of the Goddess of Compassion, “Quan Yin,” for the healing of heart, mind and soul, a ceremony called "To Honor and Heal Those Who Serve."
The evening will include the ceremony, a silent auction, and performances by many talented artists within the community. Refreshments will be served.
