Not many Christian communities celebrate the winter solstice as the festivities of the Incarnation follow quickly after. A sister community to my parish, St. Anne's, has held a simple but beautiful service for several years. Last year I was fortunate to share some songs at this beautiful service. They've invited me back this year and I hope you come. There will be different but delicious prayers, poems, and stories reflecting on the darkness.

A contemplative service of candles, music, candles, poetry, candles, silence, candles, Scripture, candles, chanting, candles, prayer - and candles! Stay after the liturgy for cookies, cocoa, and an celebratory outdoor bonfire to welcome the return of the light. Family friendly, all are welcome.
When: Wednesday, December 21, 2016, 7 p.m.
Where: St. Anne's Episcopal Church, 2035 Charlton Road, Sunfish Lake, MN 55118
