Beth Ralston and service leaders will lead the congregation in celebrating the annual Summer Solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year which is marked by sun, warmth and growth and abundance of nature. Marking the transition from Spring into Summer, the Summer Solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years by ancient people from all over the world. By sharing readings and poems, and anecdotes, she and other service leaders hope to illustrate the importance for all of us to better understand and experience our personal connections with nature as well as with all of the natural world at this time of year.
