Come alone, with a friend, or with your whole family.
Festivities will be on Sunday, January 6 and run from 4:30 p.m. till 7:30 p.m. or so.
We will start in the farmhouse with great conversation and great food—fortifying old friendships and building new ones. Young people love to gather in the great room upstairs for their own special time.
Then we go outside to gather around a bonfire to chat some more and sing a song or two.
Finally we cuddle in our hay bale auditorium inside the barn for a Celtic style Epiphany worship with the sheep peeking around the corner at us in wonderment. Surely if they could scratch their heads, they would. We will ask a Border Collie, Abbie, Nell or little Betty, to gather them inside the barn for our Amen.
You can’t buy a better time for Christmas. In fact this one is free. Rather than money, bring friends, your dried out tree and greens for the bonfire, and a salad or vegetable or a dessert to share. We will provide the pulled chicken barbecue sandwiches and beverages.
We also ask you to please alert us to your coming so we can plan accordingly. You can respond to this posting on the web site or e-mail us at heatherhopefarm@gmail.com. Of course we do have a phone, so you can ring us up at 815-895-9736.
Why not make this a holiday tradition for yourself and your family. There are people who have gathered here for Epiphany for 9 years now. It is wonderful to see children grow to be strong, good looking young adults meeting here year after year. It is good to see people coming for the very first time as well.
We hope to see you!
Sounds wonderful…I’ll be there in spirit!!
