SUMMARY:Equinox Holy Hike
DESCRIPTION:There will be a gathering for the Autumnal Equinox\, Thursday\, September 22.\nWe will gather at the Arboretum in Sunnidale Park\, Barrie at 8:30 pm.\nBring a flashlight.\nThis meeting will be more of a Holy Hike than our normal Wild Church event.\nThat means that we will be walking slowly through the Arboretum with seven\nstops. During these pauses we will reflect upon the spiritual themes offered by\nthe Fall season.\nWe will also pause at 9:04 pm to welcome the Equinox.\nThe distance travelled will be approximately one kilometre. \nParking – As you are driving NorthWest on Sunnidale Road approaching Cundles you will\nsee the shoulder on your right\, cleared for parking. At this time of day there should\nbe plenty of room. I will be waiting there\, close to the Sunnidale/Cundles intersection. \nDress – As always\, dress for the weather. We will go rain or shine. \nBruce Sweet\nbrucesweet4@gmail.com\n705-209-3899
