Once Upon a Time – Join Us for a Family Advent Storytelling Series

In collaboration with Sparkle Stories and How to Story, First Congregational Church presents live storytelling with master storyteller, David Sewell McCann. The goal with this magical storytelling event is to build original holiday stories of light, stillness and community that we can all use to care for each other this advent season. The stories will be collaborative. They will be spontaneous. They will sometimes involve music, sometimes ritual and sometimes movement. Participation is always optional. All ages welcome. Join us live or online for one or all the evenings!
