Led by Dawn Dirks, Rev. Leia Durland-Jones and Rev. Dr. Linda Olson Peebles

We celebrate the longest night and the shortest day, sharing the meaning of this time. Special music, readings, and reflections for all to enjoy.

Rev. Leia will be standing on the Edgewood Lane porch on Sunday, December 20 between 5:30 and 7:00PM.  She would love to see you and offer you holiday greetings and a special solstice ritual bag.  Drive by with a lantern for the solstice celebration.
