Tonight between 11:30 PM – the threshold of the old year, & 12:30 AM, the rise of the New, many Biodynamic Farmers around the world, will be creating the crowning BD preparation that most folks don’t get to experience – The ‘Three Kings Prep’ designed by Hugo Erbe, a contemporary of Dr. Rudolf Steiner. The indications say that beginning on New Year’s Eve - grind by hand, Gold, Frankincense & Myrrh. This mirrors the gifts given by the 3 Wise Magi - as an offering to the Matthew Jesus child, a reincarnation of Zarathustra, their stellar teacher. Rooted in esoteric teachings - these 3 Sacred Substances, sprayed on the land as a capper to the last Holy Night, serve as sacrificial gifts to the Elemental Beings. Gold: Symbol of the Sun & the light of Wisdom - Thinking Frankincense: Representing Devotion & Seership - Feeling Myrrh: Death & Resurrection - Willing Then on 6 January (12th Night - Epiphany or 3 Kings Day) we stir this preparation in an undulating water vortex for an hour - & then walk the perimeter, spraying it outwards, creating a circle of protection & light. Hugo Erbe speaks of the significance of water in this process. “In the context of human evolution, the time when it was spiritually appropriate to make burnt offerings must be held to belong to the past. Appropriate for our present time, and therefore effective, are offerings made with water. This is the reason why a water-based form for the Preparations as sacrificial substances, especially belonging to The Three Kings Preparation, came to be.” We asperge & circumambulate with hearts full of gratitude & the warmth of love, acknowledging our responsibility as human beings to steward the Earth, making a commitment to the Elemental Beings & the ‘Spirit of Place’ - gifting them with this ‘Spiritual Sustenance’. This year, since CG & I have moved from the Windy City to America’s Dairyland, just a few minutes from Zinniker Farm, we will be able to fully participate in the grind, stir & asperging of the 3 Kings Preparation on the oldest continuous biodynamic farm in America.

What will you sprinkle out from your center to bless the periphery - To acknowledge the past, purify the present, & broadcast into the future? May we learn new tricks in 2026 Blessings dear hearts on this Hidden Holy Night ~hag Share Our 20+C+M+B+26 Holy Night Community Offering “Solvitur Ambulando = It is solved by walking” Epiphany Eve Monday 5 January 2026 from 7-8:30 PM at the new home of Hazel Archer & Chuck Ginsberg We will begin with some Leading Thoughts If folks are inclined, we can Sing Together. I have music for ‘We Three Kings’, ‘Over the Hill and Over the Dale’, & the words to ‘Though my Soul’. If anyone would like to lead the singing, please step in for that. Then we will walk the indoor Labyrinth for our the Moving Meditation. The labyrinth is an ancient symbol that relates to wholeness. Combining the imagery of the circle & the spiral into a meandering but purposeful path, it represents a journey to our own center & back out again into the world; much like the seed from Winter to Spring. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation & prayer tools. It is an archetype with which we can have a direct experience of sacred geometry. Walking the labyrinth is a potent practice of Self-Integration, awakening the Divine knowledge encoded within our DNA, fortifying our vital forces for the New Year. Petra will play her Sounding Bowl by Tobias Kaye. Please bring your instrument if you would like to contribute some musical accompaniment. Bring warm socks, or slippers.

New Year’s Devotion for 2026 Fresh Manna by Pastor Tim Burt

Fresh Manna with Pastor Tim Burt    A Note from Pastor Tim Tim here. I'm so glad you're hungry to learn more about Jesus and the Word of God. Below, you'll find today's Fresh Manna Devotional. I pray it speaks to you and ministers to your heart! Explore more on my website → New Year’s Devotion for 2026 December 31, 2025 by Timothy Burt New Year’s Devotion for 2026 As we step into a brand-new year, let’s purpose in our hearts to pursue God with intention, faith, and joy. These five simple commitments can shape your spiritual walk in 2026 and help you grow strong in Him each day. 1. Pray the Word of God—Not Your Feelings Pray from your heart, anchored in faith rather than emotion. God’s Word is steady even when life feels unstable.  James 1:6 (NKJV): “But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” 2. Focus on One Covenant Promise Each Day Meditate on one promise at a time. Let it renew your mind and strengthen your confidence in who you are in Christ. Galatians 3:29 (NLT): “And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and now all the promises God gave to him belong to you.” 3. Be the Grace of God to Others  Make it your aim to lift up, encourage, and speak life. Your words can become a channel of God’s grace. Ephesians 4:29 (NKJV): “Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.” 4. Serve God by Serving His Church and His People Strengthen your church. Build up others. Use your gifts to glorify God and expand His Kingdom. 1 Corinthians 14:12 (NIV): “Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.” And, 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV): “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 5. Offenses Will Happen—Choose to Overlook Almost All of Them Unintentional offenses occur every day. Walk in wisdom, patience, and forgiveness. Overlook 99.9% of them, and forgive the rest! Proverbs 19:11 (NIV): “A man's wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense.” Acts 24:16 (NKJV): “This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.” A Final Encouragement for 2026 Make wise choices this year by being intentional—not casual—about what you believe. Let God’s Word shape your thoughts, guide your steps, and anchor your heart every day. Numbers 6:24–26 (NKJV) “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ‍In His love, Pastor Tim Burt Forward this email to a friend Support This Work © 2025 Tim Burt Ministries.

Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. The five who were foolish didn’t take enough olive oil for their lamps.” — Matthew 25:1–3 (NLT) Jesus’ parable of the ten bridesmaids is one of the most sobering teachings He ever gave. Yet when understood correctly, it is also deeply encouraging. It reminds us that Jesus loves us so much that He wants us spiritually prepared—awake, nourished, and full—for every season of life, and especially for His return. All ten bridesmaids had lamps. All ten were waiting for the bridegroom. All ten intended to meet Him. And all ten started with oil. This tells us something important: the foolish bridesmaids weren’t unbelievers. They weren’t rebellious or uninterested. They believed in the bridegroom and fully expected to be part of the celebration. They represent people today who know about Jesus, understand salvation, and even identify as Christians… but who never cultivate a daily relationship with Him. They had lamps—representing belief, knowledge, and initial faith. But the wise bridesmaids had something more: oil—the ongoing inner life of the Spirit, nourished through relationship. Throughout Scripture, oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit, life, spiritual vitality, and fresh anointing. In Jesus’ story, oil points to the spiritual fuel that keeps our faith burning through delays, challenges, disappointments, and unexpected seasons. It speaks of a faith that is more than head knowledge—it's a relationship that is continually renewed. And here is where this applies to so many believers today. Many believers know Jesus, but their spiritual lives run dangerously low because they don’t take time to stay connected to Him through His Word, prayer, worship, and being faithfully planted in a local church. Far too many Christians skip church altogether—yet still know all the right lingo, verses, and Christian phrases. But without the weekly rhythm of gathering with other believers, sitting under the teaching of Scripture, worshiping together, and being strengthened by the Body of Christ, their lamp slowly dries out. They have belief, but they lack the spiritual reserves that only come from a consistent life with Jesus and His church. And this is where the enemy finds his opportunity. When people know about Jesus but do not walk with Jesus, their spiritual tank becomes vulnerable. When the unexpected hits—when darkness falls, when delays discourage, when trials shake them—the devil whispers: “Are you sure God will come through?” “Maybe He isn’t listening.” “You haven’t prayed enough. You’re on your own.” And without spiritual oil—without Scripture in their heart, worship on their lips, prayer in their lives, and community around them—they can feel empty, overwhelmed, or unsure. Jesus told this parable not to frighten us, but because He loves us. He knows how easily we drift. He knows how quickly we run dry. He knows how much we need a daily filling. Readiness isn’t perfection. Readiness is relationship—daily, steady, intentional. The wise bridesmaids weren’t perfect; they were simply prepared. They thought ahead. They valued their connection to the bridegroom. They kept themselves supplied. And that is exactly what Jesus invites us to do. You don’t need to fear running out. You don’t need to dread the future. You don’t need to carry anxiety about not having “enough.” You simply need to stay close to Jesus every day— in His Word, in prayer, in worship, and in His church. He is the One who fills you. He is the One who keeps your lamp burning. He is the One who strengthens you with fresh oil. Stay close to Him, and you will always have enough. Psalm 119:29–30 (NLT) "Keep me from lying to myself; give me the privilege of knowing Your instructions. I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by Your regulations.”  ‍In His love, Pastor Tim Burt Forward this email to a friend Support This Work © 2025 Tim Burt Ministries.
