Sankt-Martins-Umzug

This Saturday, November 9th, at 4:00 p.m. in Danehy Park, Cambridge, we will have a lantern parade to celebrate St. Martin’s Day!

We will sing German songs, experience the story of St. Martin, and enjoy the colorful lights on our short walk through Danehy Park; we should be done by 6:00/6:30 p.m. (just in time for dinner). The weather is supposed to be cool but nice, so come join us! Some snacks traditional to St. Martin’s Day will be available for purchase but the event itself is free; it is also geared toward children, so bring your families!

Live theatre with music, outdoors

The Rev. Rita Powell (Episcopal Chaplain, Harvard) has written a play, inspired by the writing of early Christian theologian Evagrius. We Say Various Things About Sleep will be presented outdoors (in Cambridge and in Fitchburg), with live music, on August 23, 24 and 25.

How does the body experience the spiritual? Do we know our own souls? How do we encounter the divine: through music, text, movement, nature? Evagrius was transformed by his time spent in reflection in the wilderness; we seek our own miniature transformations, spending an evening together in nature and art.

Enjoy a New England summer evening with theatre and music! Please do come early and bring a picnic. (Also, bring something to sit on! If you’re joining us in Cambridge, bring a picnic blanket or a folding chair. If you’re joining us in Fitchburg, there will be stone seats – but bring padding to sit on!)

Tickets are FREE (though donations are much appreciated!)  You can find all details for We Say Various Things About Sleep at an Eventbrite page here

Please join us for a unique experience.

Ordinary Time is an independent folk acoustic trio rooted in the Christian tradition. Comprised of Ben Keyes (guitar, piano, mandolin), Peter La Grand (guitar, banjo, dobro), and Jill McFadden (guitar, violin), Ordinary Time presents extraordinarily rich vocal harmonies, skillful instrumentation, and thought-provoking lyrics. The band’s oeuvre seamlessly weaves the hymns of generations past with their own new songs”often indistinguishably”producing a sound that ranges from bluegrass-tinged Americana to sacred harp hymn arrangements.  The band has released five records and tours semi-annually.

Grounded in tradition, innovative in expression, and mature in musicianship, Ordinary Time offers an important and unique voice, gifting us with enduring tunes for the journey of faith
