Michaelmas!

We begin our celebrations with an Adult Study on Thursday, September 20th at 6:00 p.m. Teacher William Dolde will present a talk and performance entitled,

"He Do the Police in Different Voices:
Michaelmas, Easter & The Waste Land"

(View Flier HERE)

Then, our  Michaelmas Festival will be celebrated this year on Friday, September 28, 2012 beginning at 5:00p.m.
with dinner at 5:30, followed by the pageant play and bonfire.

 
This much beloved community festival features a pageant of shooting stars, gnomes, happy villagers and, of course, the Michaelmas Dragon! (Parents of very young children should be apprised that the dragon "eats" a villager, who is, later, fully restored...Please make your own decision about the appropriateness of your attendance and the sensitivities of your child to the dragon, the drums, etc.)

Michaelmas is, ultimately, a festival of Courage wherein we look to our own hearts and lives to face our own "dragons" and, with the aid of Archangel Michael, transform that which hinders to that which serves our own and humanity's highest good. There will be a community feast following the pageant.
