Enough with this Bleak Midwinter!

All are welcome to join us for Enough with this Bleak Midwinter! With Deb Mackey 

Imbolc. St. Bridget’s Day. Candlemas. Groundhog Day. Call it what you will, people have been celebrating the early days of February for thousands of years. 

It’s midway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. The sun is getting stronger. Signs of new life are appearing in our forests and yards. But icy winds still howl.

Is spring really around the corner or will the dreary days of winter keep dragging on? The answer is up to you. Join us as we consider why now is the perfect time to reignite your creative powers and choose light over darkness.

Deb Mackey is a FPS Trustee and Worship Associate and preached in our pulpit last fall. She is a member of our Earth-centered Traditions Group and a life-long student of the changing seasons, native wildlife, and landscapes of New England.
