GLOW: Light the Way

As the longest night approaches, we gather to celebrate the light we create together. Join us for a secular evening of music, meaning, and connection on Sunday, December 14, from 5:30–8:30 p.m.

• 5:30 p.m. — Community Meal
• 6:30 p.m. — Lessons & Carols for the Winter Solstice
• 7:30 p.m. — Caroling & Festive Fun
• 6:30–8:30 p.m. — Kids’ Glow Party

Good Cheer is one of the Ethical Society’s longest-running intergenerational traditions. It’s our way of celebrating the winter holiday season in a secular and Humanist way with music, storytelling, candles, and community.

The community meal will be a chili cook-off again! Bring your best chili and compete for the coveted Golden Ladle! No sign-up needed.

Not a chef? Enjoy tasting the entries and bring some cash to cast your votes. Each vote helps raise funds for the Ethical Society! Plus, there’ll be appetizers, hot dogs, and veggie dogs for non-chili lovers, and the DIY hot cocoa bar will be returning as well!

You’re ALL invited to sing at Good Cheer!

Music — please go to THIS FOLDER to see and hear the music

• Glow (Eric Whitacre)
• Peace Be With You (Kniest/Schweizer)
• Plus a couple of singalong tunes that we’ll practice to make sure we can lead from within the congregation that night.

If you can’t make it to both of the rehearsals (on 12/11 and 12/13), please try to attend at least ONE rehearsal. If you cannot attend either, you may still be invited to sing with us on Peace Be With You, but sadly not on Glow.

Please respond to THIS SHORT FORM which will ask for your name, availability, and voice part preferences. I know it’s a crazy time of year, but this will help Music Director Mike Engelhardt know how many copies to make, and how best to prepare for our rehearsals.
