Location: 6 Locke Street
Description: Sunday, February 7, 10:30 a.m. “Getting Through the Winter” Gail Forsyth-Vail, guest
speaker

There is an Anishinabe tale of how Shingebiss, the duck, relies on creativity, courage and perseverance to confront and outlast the Winter-maker who blows his icy breath across the land and waters of the Great Lakes. What do we rely on to help us through the winters of our lives? What does the wintertime still have to teach us?

Gail Forsyth-Vail is the Adult Programs Director at the Unitarian Universalist Association, and author of Stories in Faith: Exploring our Unitarian Universalist Principles and Sources through Wisdom Tales, and co-author of Harvest the Power: Developing Lay Leadership. She lives in Georgetown with husband Steve, whom she married thirty-one years ago when they were both members of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Andover. Gail preached on Easter last year, and we welcome her back to our pulpit!
