Advent Reflection Resource Discussion
Sun., Dec. 21 at 10:45 a.m.
As we enter this sacred season of waiting and wonder, we invite you to journey with us through The Art of Living Through Advent as our Advent reflection resource. Each day offers thoughtful insights, meaningful opportunities, and gentle encouragement to slow down, breathe deeply, and prepare room in our hearts for Christ’s coming. Whether you read along with a cup of tea, or gather with others for conversation, may this shared practice ground us in hope, peace, joy, and love throughout Advent. We are offering only 30 copies of this reflection resource at the reduced rate of $10. Please see our Office Admin, Kathryn Luco, to secure your copy as we prepare for the season of Advent.
Join us in the Parlor following worship on Dec. 21st to discuss the experience.
