**Hello my good people!**
Join us on **Saturday, Dec. 6th at 2:00 PM** for a special hike at **Cahokia Mounds State Historic Site**, once the center of a thriving Indigenous city along the Mississippi River. Nearly a thousand years ago, Cahokia was as large as New York or Philadelphia in their early days, home to more than ten thousand people.

We’ll explore a portion of this sacred landscape together, walking about **3–5 miles** at a relaxed pace. Along the way we’ll have a **poetry reading, a meditation, and communion** on the trails. We’ll finish by climbing **Monks Mound**, the massive earthen pyramid that rises 100 feet above the plains, to watch the sun begin to set.

Afterwards, anyone who wishes is welcome to gather at a nearby Mexican restaurant for fellowship.

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see many RSVPs—we have folks joining from outside Meetup as well!
**What to bring:**

* Water
* Snacks for yourself
* Comfortable walking shoes
* Recommended attire: long pants and long sleeves

**Hosted by:** Pastor Eli & Professor Scott
We hike twice a month, and all plans are weather-dependent. Be sure to sign up so you’ll receive any updates or changes!
