Maple Leaf Lantern Walk
Please come join us for another shared event! A puppet show then a stroll with your child’s lantern on the green, across the road. The green will be magically illuminated with luminaries the children have made! At the end of our stroll, we will light a lantern in the center and take the moment to bring awareness of the unhomed into our thoughts. Afterwards we are invited to visit Latham Library for cookies and cider!
Children not enrolled at the center are welcome to join us and can have fun making a lantern from a jar or clear cup, (Pinterest has many ideas!) at home with a wire handle and decorating it, we will have battery tealight candles available for all lanterns! Please dress warm!
Typically lantern walks are done on November 11th, in recognition of Martinmas, a special day to commemorate Saint Martin, who lent his soldiers cloak to the homeless to keep warm. In keeping with our anti biased curriculum but still wanting to share the magic of this event we have chosen a different date!
We will have a donation jar available for our local American Legion #79.
Parking is available in the church parking lot, please do not park on the green.
