Hosting South African Partners Summer 2008 Our partners from South Africa, led by the Rev. Joe Zibi, were guests in our homes and in our congregation. They joined us in our outdoor worship at Massanetta Springs Pavillon, led major portions of our Summer Night Study, and contributed their gifts of music and dedication. Trinity took our visitors from South Africa to Shenandoah National Park. There we enjoyed a fellowship meal at SKYLAND. Pure serendipity, many of the staff at Skyland are from South Africa. Our friends introduced us to new friends. Congregational Retreat 2009 Massanetta Springs Stefan Andre Waligur is a contemplative musician composer, retreat leader, and peace activist connected for many years with the Church of the Savior in Washington, DC. For the past ten years Stefan has been going to Taize, an ecumenical Christian monastic community in France where most weeks during the spring and summer between one and six thousand young people descend upon the small community to join them three times a day in simple chants, common meals, reflection on questions of spirituality and social justice, and simple work and play. Stefan has been at Trinity several times before. On Sunday, November 1, 2009, Stefan led Trinity in a Taize type worship service featuring music, meditation, contemplation, and activities designed to lead us into reflection upon deep questions of spirituality.
