My favorite part of winter… I’m sure the sun would drag itself back without us, but it’s nice to feel like we’ve helped. Come join us as we sing and drum for the return of the sun! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s more than a performance, it\u2019s more than a worship service. It\u2019s a feast of sound and spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Stay for a fun feast afterwards. Everyone pitches in for the feast!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring a finger food to share while connecting with other attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Volunteer to help out that evening. http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/solsticesignup<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n SPONSORED BY<\/p>\n\n\n\n Central Indiana Unitarian Universalists<\/p>\n\n\n\n – All Souls Unitarian Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Heartland Unitarian Universalist Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Oaklandon Unitarian Universalist Church<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Sacred Path<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis (UUI)<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Hendricks County, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Journeysfire Spiritual Center<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Softsound – CircleWebWorks<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Zemlin Photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Indy Winter Solstice Celebration is based on the Winter Solstice Singing Ritual, a non-denominational and earth-affirming celebration that combines music and storytelling to mark the longest night of the year and the return of Sun.
