Join your sisters in faith on September 18-20 for a very special retreat as Bryan Sirchio ministers to us in worship and song.  Bryan is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ and has served as a local church pastor in Wisconsin where he resides.

For the last 20 years Bryan has continued with his music ministry, leading worship services and retreats focusing on economic justice and faithfulness from a Christian perspective. Bryan is a musician that all ages will enjoy.

We will have an opportunity to learn more about fair trade, what some churches are doing, and how we can participate.  Some items will be on display and may be available for purchase.

To learn more about Bryan, his music and his work, visit his web site at Crosswind Music.            www.sirchio.com

Those who have attended Lantern in the past continually talk of the great impact the event has had on them.  They talk of the difficulty they have explaining to others just what they have experienced.

“I have found in Lantern Fellowship so many of the things I have needed - faith renewed, courage strengthened, friendship deepened, peace attained.” said Mrs. Marion Ballou Fiske of Cleveland, former president of the Ohio Conference Board of Missions for the Congregational Christian Churches.  

Though this was said many years ago, it is still very true today.

Lantern Fellowship is a time when women, with a general age span of 25 to 80 plus years, come together to enjoy good food, warm and friendly hospitality, and the peaceful, quiet beauty of wooded hills and trails where the spirit can find renewal. The beautiful spirit of fellowship is present the entire time!

We hope you will invite a friend or more to share in the wonderful experience of Fall Lantern.  Come and renew your strength, refresh your spirit, and wander aimlessly in the woods.  We know that when you leave for home you will be rested, inspired and renewed!
