We’ll start at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, move together through the heart of Longfellow, I will lead some singing somewhere in there… and end at Moon Palace Books & Pangea World Theater for warm drinks and connection. It’s a moment to slow down, be outside together, and feel the season in a new way.
