Winter Solstice Singing Ritual
- Join us in the sanctuary for a special candlelight performance
on Saturday, December 17th at 8:00 pm. - We also will perform the ritual on Sunday, December 18th at 10:00 am
as the church’s Sunday service.
Beautiful music, a meaningful story, and the inspiring message of spreading light to the world.
This unique ritual is different from everything else we do. Celebrating the darkest day of the year and the beginning of light’s return to the world, we tell the myth of Persephone’s descent into the underworld through narration, poetry, and song.
The service is powerful, meditative, and joyful. Come and celebrate the return of light and life to our world!
A note from Rev. Ed:
This Sunday we will have the annual Pagan service at one service at 10 a.m. Thus we will ‘round out’ our tour of three major world religions for this month, Buddhism, Christianity and Paganism. For those interested, there will be follow up Adult Education courses for persons further interested in examining Buddhism and Christianity. The series on early Christianity (Genesis, A Living Conversation) will take place on Wednesdays beginning Jan. 18th and will be led by our own Ken Small. The series on Buddhism will take place in January and please keep your eye on the Adult Education web page for further details. There was quite a bit of interest in both classes and we look forward to these interesting explorations. I look forward to seeing you Sunday.
