Mid Winter Feast - It's on for 2009!

Last year, Sunday Stuff ran a mid-winter feast in our Sunday morning time at Fairfield SPACE. The idea was to mark mid-winter with a traditional celebration. Mid-winter has been important in Europe and other parts of the northern hemisphere since the beginning of history. The mid-winter festivities have greatly influenced western Christianity through Christmas (a Christianised mid-winter festival).

We held our feast to encourage people along as the days got darker and colder. From mid-winter on the days get lighter, but colder and wetter (we hope!). It was a great time, with hearty food, some stories and music ("Bring Us In Good Ale" got a really good listen and we sang Carols with gusto).

We want to do it again this year, and open it up to out friends and neighbours to encourage them along. We'll do it on June 21, starting 10:30 at Fairfield SPACE (88a Station St Fairfield). If you have ideas or want to invite someone, shoot me a message!
