Whidbey Faith Communities join to bless the land and the hands that cultivate food for the community. Fr. Rick Spicer led the blessing. He was joined by other ministers: Pastor Mary Boyd of Langley United Methodist, Rev. Nigel Taber-Hamilton of St. Augustine Episcopal, Joanna Macy of Unity of Whidbey, Dennis Reynolds of Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Whidbey Island, and Tom Ewell of the Whidbey Friends Meeting (Quakers). Thirty three people joined in procession from the Bayview Corner, prayer and song for the sprinkling rite in gratitude for the abundance of creation.
