Harp and Healing special – Blue Christmas on December 4th at 5.30 PM, Broadway Christian Church Sanctuary.

December can be a wonderful month, filled with the excitement and expectation of Christmas. For some people though it might bring back memories of loss, illness or hardship. Perhaps you lost your loved one just recently and are not ready for the joyous festivities. Harp and Healing special- Blue Christmas is here for you. We will join you in your journey of sorrow and healing with live peaceful Harp music, inspirational words, candle light and live painting. I am so delighted that two special guests agreed to join Pastor Terry Overfelt and myself. Artist Vesna Delevska creating a work of art and singer/songwriter/ harpist Ruth Acuff performing her new Holiday single “Peace”. This Christmas special will be held in the Sanctuary of Broadway Christian Church. We hope you will join us for an evening of healing through beauty of music, art and poetry. Free and open to all.

November went by rather quickly, some of my favorite moments included my youngest son’s 6th birthday, a wedding at Blue Bell Farm with my husband playing cello with me and our annual Flute and Harp Christmas concert at Lenoir Woods with my flutist Brooksie Collins and of course the snow! That’s my kind of winter!

I wish you happy and safe Holidays and hope to see you at on of these events. Please find me after to say hello!
