Join Rev. Leia Durland-Jones in a multigenerational celebration of May Day/Beltane. Come hear stories and learn about the traditions of this special day as we pay attention to the turning of the Wheel of the Year. What “seeds” have been planted in your psyche that you are hoping to nourish, grow and blossom during this season of new life and rebirth? We will sing, share and celebrate Beltane and May Day together in multigenerational Community Worship led by Rev. Leia, Dawn Dirks and Greg Townsend.
You are invited to use this link (or another of your own choosing) to make a May Day basket during worship!
