Come gather with us as autumn settles into the garden. We'll walk the garden path and meet a few fall friends along the way, each with a tiny story, verse, and seasonal gift. Then we'll gather together around the fire for bread, hot apple cider, and twinkling lights as dusk begins to fall.

upon seeing a beggar shivering in the snow, St. Martin drew his sword and cut his scarlet military cloak in half to share. His fellow legionnaires teased him about his shredded finery, of course, but he stood firm on Christ’s words: “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.”

November
Inspired by the old world Bavarian custom where farmers created table gardens with moss, twigs, and candles in apples, representing a parable of Paradise. The Advent spiral serves as a moment of quiet contemplation and preparation during the Advent season, acknowledging the increasing darkness of winter while looking forward to the return of light after the winter solstice.

Candlemas is a celebration day of renewal and hope. It takes its name from the traditional making and blessing of new candles at home and in churches at this time of year. Candlemas marks the time of year when we can now experience and appreciate the gradual return of the light and lengthening of the day.
