Rev. Strecker, Interim Minister
Imbolc is the Earth-centered celebration of the first stirrings of new life. Believe it or not, this is the time of year when seeds begin to germinate and the sap starts to rise in the trees. These are signs of new life that are so subtle we hardly notice them, but they are there.
