The Ladies at Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church invite you to add our Christmas Bazaar to your list of places to visit this coming Saturday the 7th. I see White Clover is hosting their winter sale the same day. What a great day to explore all the goodies that our little community has to offer.

The Bazaar starts at 10:00 with Clam Chowder and pie lunch serving from 11:00-2:00. You know the church has made chowder every year at this time since……well it’s been many years. I’ve been told it’s the best Chowder around and in my opinion it’s true.

So stop by and see what you can find for stocking stuffers, gifts, silent auction items, candy and baked goods. Something for everyone!!!!

Then run out 53 to the Grange and check out their offerings.

Merry Christmas.

Join me for a short and sweet concert at St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church on Hwy 101 Saturday Dec 14th at 4pm … I’ll sing a collection of my own songs and sprinkle in a few Christmas Advent tunes in… this is the third year I’ve done this and most people have said they found it good soul company and restoration … Because when the world feels like it’s falling apart, art can heal and mend. Because when someone feels like they are the only one feeling what they are feeling, art is company and love. Because art is light. Because art is balm. Because art is a songbird’s song. Because art is the walls breaking down around us. Because music songs can be love and life. Tears are welcome as well as Kleenex and journals …

The Table

Come with your fear

Come with all that you hold so dear

Come with your longing and your hoping

and your tears

Come with your heart

Come while you heal and fall apart

Come with your pockets emptied

on the table of time

Waiting for a Love

Waiting for a Life

Waiting for a light

to pierce this night

to pierce this night

Holy things reach

Holy things find the dark and teach

Holy things bend in time

they feel the wind and rhyme

Holy things need

Holy things need the burning Sun

holy things come together

and they come undone

“Come with your heart
Come while you heal and fall apart
Come with your pockets emptied
on the table of time”

St. Catherines Episcopal Church on Hwy 101

“Joy doesn’t replace any emotion; it holds them all and keeps any one of them from swallowing us whole. Society has failed to understand this. When it tells us to find joy in suffering it is telling us to let it go, move on, to smile through it. But joy says, Hold on to your sorrow. It can rest safely here.” (Cole Arthur Riley from This Here Flesh)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kathryn Claire’s Winter Songs December 6th | 5pm (Doors at 4:30pm) Tickets – $20/$10 – Reservations HERE White Clover Grange, Nehalem, OR
Winter Songs is a show inspired by the season with music to honor the shortest days and longest nights. Weaving together songs, poetry, instrumentals, traditional and original music and a few covers, Kathryn Claire invites the audience to join together in celebration of the season and to bring light to the darkness. Kathryn Claire has been doing a seasonal winter show since 2013 working with a variety of artists. In 2018, Don Henson joined her for Winter Songs on piano and percussion before incorporating Sid Ditson on violin and viola in 2019. The blend of this trio is stunning and their energy together is joyful and heartfelt. Kathryn, Sid and Don reunited in 2022 and released an EP featuring music Kathryn wrote specifically for the show along with a single “Dark of December”. The trio is thrilled to be returning to the White Clover Grange for their 3rd year of this show.
With her violin and voice at the center of her music, Kathryn Claire weaves together stories and melodies rooted in her classical and traditional musical background while infusing each song and composition with an energy and electricity that is palpable. Her musicality and joy on stage is infectious. Honest and poetic writing, crystalline vocals, impassioned violin compositions, and an ability to move seamlessly across genres, are the hallmark of Kathryn Claire’s original and diverse sound.
Don Henson has toured extensively with Kathryn Claire in the Pacific Northwest and played with her “Winter Songs” show since 2018. Don works frequently with Will West and Skip Vonkuske in Portland, OR. His band, ‘Sneakin Out’ has played various stages with Pink Martini, on The Tonight Show (With Jay Leno) and had the honor of playing Carnegie Hall.
Sid Ditson has toured with Kathryn in Belgium and the Netherlands and has been an integral part of Kathryn’s music over the past decade. Sid has been playing violin since childhood. He loves to explore the sometimes irreverent blend of fiddle and violin styles, and brings to the stage and studio a versatility with the instrument that is truly unique. Classical, indie, bluegrass, Celtic and improv are all a part of Sid’s palette, along with an exquisite tone and depth of expression. Sid is often caught grinning while playing, finding it impossible to hide the immense joy that music brings.
