Imbolc Potluck & Ritual

Unitarian Church of Marlborough and Hudson

A Unitarian Universalist Welcoming Congregation

Saturday January 31, 2009 at 6:00 pm

Join us in marking this "cross quarter," the point half-way between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. Imbolc celebrates the earliest signs of spring returning and was a precursor to Groundhog's Day. We will gather at 6:00 for a potluck dinner which will be followed by a simple, family-friendly ritual. To RSVP for this free event, please call or e-mail the church office.

Words to move the spirit

Waiting Moments

Blessed guide in my waiting moment, help me listen to the songs in my soul. When all that could be done has been done, when all that ought to have been said has been spoken, come to me. Still my mind, my hands, and my mouth, that I might hear what is expected of me. If I should ask, “How long must I wait?” Whisper to me, that I have already arrived. Help me see that in this waiting moment the shaman has drawn out the sickness of impatience and satisfied my deepest longing to be of use. May I always bless the waiting moment of my life.
