The Norman Rockwell Museum is honored to present a rare series of early twentieth century lighting advertisements by Norman Rockwell and fellow Golden Age illustrators Maxfield Parrish, N.C. Wyeth, Dean Cornwell, Stanley Arthurs, Worth Brehm, and Charles Chambers created for Edison Mazda Lamps, a division of the General Electric Company. These luminous, richly painted works were widely circulated in published advertisements through the 1920s and are on loan to the Museum for the first time through the generosity of GE Aerospace.

Each service includes an uplifting talk that touches on real-life experiences—like relationships, resilience, and personal growth—offering down-to-earth reflections to help you navigate life with clarity, compassion, and a sense of connection.

The healing portion of the service begins with a peaceful, guided meditation accompanied by live harp music, creating a calm and supportive space. Those who wish may then receive gentle, hands-on energy healing from certified Spiritualist healers while seated.

The service concludes with a demonstration of mediumship from the podium, where the medium shares messages from loved ones in spirit. These brief, heartfelt messages are intended to provide evidence of the continuity of life and offer comfort, healing, and connection.

Mad Agnes will perform on Sunday, Sept. 7, at 3 PM at Unitarian Universalist Society East, located at 153 Vernon Street West, Manchester CT. $20 freewill donation
Mad Agnes has won hearts on two continents with their signature intricate harmonies and compelling songwriting. The genre-bending trio — Margo Hennebach, Adrienne Jones and Mark Saunders — weaves contemporary folk with a nod to Celtic, an element of vocal improv, and top-notch arrangements into an exciting, inclusive performance. Their fifth original CD, "Likely Story – An Eclectic Collection of Songs for the Soul," charted No. 10/No. 16 Feb/Mar 2024 on FAI FOLK CHART TOP ALBUMS OF THE MONTH.
Their current iteration sees them using only one microphone, around which they form and re-form, early-radio style. This encourages more playfulness and connection, as they transport and tickle audiences with robust harmonies, incisive songwriting and well crafted instrumentation, using guitars, mandolin, percussion, an inventive keyboard, and three-part harmonies as tight as jeans from the dryer.
Mad Agnes continues to play for long-time fans and they’re excited to be creating new ones as well. In short, they exemplify three voices, one soul, and 40 years of harmony and mayhem.
