It is almost May 1st– halfway between the Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice- and the time for maypoles, flower crowns, planting seeds and driving one’s cattle in between two fires! It is also the week of Passover when Jews re-tell the story of Moses leading the Jewish people out of Egypt and into the desert, where they received the Ten Commandments became a new people. At North Parish, Rev. Lee will share some musings about a special season for the congregation next fall, when she will be on sabbatical and Li Kynvi will join the congregation. Join us for some music celebrating the spring!
