Our annual Winter Solstice service is tonight at 7 PM and the sanctuary is ready to welcome us in a cocoon of nurturing darkness before we joyfully welcome the light (over 200 candles are ready for us to light!). For those who are up for it, we'll have a bonfire to follow and warm beverages to hold as you stand around the fire, our ancient friend. Meanwhile, please enjoy this gorgeous poem by one of my favorite poets, the Rev. Steve Garnass-Holmes, who reminds us that the coming of Light in the world is unfolding, even as we wait. And that there is no power greater. Thank you, to the darkness that nurtures. Welcome, to the light that leads the way forward! 

Blessings,
Jennifer
