In the Heritage Church — Moon Magic 🌙
Step into a cozy moonlit world with a glowing moon projection, twinkling candlelight, gentle chimes, and soft, dreamy ambience.

Moon-Themed Stations:

• Create Your Own Flip-Book Moon: Watch the moon’s phases come to life with every flip.
• Colouring Corner: Enjoy moon-inspired colouring fun.
• Sensory Space: Listen to the sounds of nighttime critters.
• Let-Go & Intention Jar: Write down your hopes and tuck them away for a little moon-magic wish.

In the Main Hall — Sunshine Central ☀️
A bright sun projection sets the scene for cheerful, light-filled crafting.

Sun Stations:

• Sun Wands: Make a colorful sun wand from wood and yarn to take home.
• Orange Slice Garland or Angels: Craft fragrant garlands or charming angel ornaments for your home.
• Sun Catchers: Create a vibrant window charm to brighten your space.

Out on the Grounds — Fireside Fun 🔥
Cozy up by the mini firepit, roast marshmallows, sip warm cider, and enjoy a sweet treat. Write a note of reflection or hope, wander among glowing jar lanterns, and take home a tiny seed—a symbol of growth and new beginnings for the year ahead.

Join us for a magical Solstice afternoon filled with creativity, community, and seasonal cheer!
