MacPhail “Play for Life” Ukulele class recently ended at our Ridge Point apartments. Here is more information about this special program!
 
MacPhail Music for Life™ programming has provided many opportunities for adults living in Ebenezer communities to participate in music education classes. Recently, MacPhail led a ukulele course at the Ridge Point community in Burnsville and the participants worked hard, had fun and were strumming along to familiar songs after just 12 weeks. All of the MacPhail programming at Ebenezer is made possible through the support of the Ebenezer Foundation Greatest Needs fund.

Ridges Campus celebrated the Festival of Santa Lucia today with Arbors at Ridges. 

Saint Lucia's Day, also called the Feast of Saint Lucia, is a Christian feast day celebrated on 13 December in Advent, commemorating Saint Lucia, a 3rd-century martyr under the Diocletianic Persecution, who according to legend brought "food and aid to Christians hiding in the catacombs" using a candle-lit wreath to "light her way and leave her hands free to carry as much food as possible".[1] Her feast once coincided with the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year before calendar reforms, so her feast day has become a Christian festival of light.[2][3] Falling within the Advent season, Saint Lucia's Day is viewed as an event signaling the arrival of Christmastide, pointing to the arrival of the Light of Christ in the calendar, on Christmas Day.
