Note: Dec 6 is a special Harp Presentation with music from the 15th/16th Century with beautiful chants along with traditional and contemporary carols with poems/psalms by Anya McRae. What a wonderful way to begin Advent and a lovely time to gather and maybe invite friends and family. All are welcome.
Options: There is a 20-minute silent meditation (Centering Prayer) at 9:30 – 10:00 am if you are interested. And a Healing Eucharist that follows the harp presentation with coffee/tea if you would like to participate.
