Chinese New Year

America/Denver
Location: 
River Hall - 901 E. Swallow Rd. Fort Collins, CO

How to find us: Pass through the gate on western (garage) side of house then enter through the yellow door into River Hall.

In the western world we think of New Years as just a night of partying. But in the Chinese culture this is a very special and spiritual week of activities. A time to honor your ancestors and the past, lessens learned and bring in good fortune in the year to come, make commitments and renew your faith. Please join us for one take on the Chinese New Year ritual. Ritual garb is encouraged but not required, also this is a good evening to bring bells, drums and noise makers.

The evening will be kid friendly and start with our traditional potluck. Please bring a nutritious dish or beverage to share. All the cups, utensils, plates and drinking water are provided by the Covenant.

As always if you have questions or concerns, please contact the Council.

I didn’t mention in the event, but if you didn’t already know, red is the preferred color to wear on Chinese New Year. It symbolizes luck, wealth and wards off evil spirits.
