Sunday, December 20, 2015 9:15 and 11:15 a.m.
Reverend Douglas Wadkins
Maybe Reverend Macklin
This service partners with the evening Solstice service to explore the dynamic forces that are part of this season, with a special nod to wisdom of Eastern thought and perhaps a gentle nod to Star Wars spirituality. The second half of the service will be contemplative in tone, to assist us in connecting with our inner wisdom for the heart of our winter journey.
Of note, Reverend Macklin, an admitted Star Trek Snob, may or may not participate in this service, depending on whether she can get over herself. Please do join us for this worship service and, for those of you who can, our evening Solstice Service as we embrace the wisdom of earth-based spirituality.
