Advent

November 28, December 5, 12 - Advent Explorations. In this three-part Advent series, Pastor Katie will lead us in a contemplative study of art images of the nativity from around the world.

From Pastor Katie: We’re back to where it all began for us. Back to a time of waiting, of longing for our Messiah to come. These past two years, the longing for a deliverer has felt more salient than ever before; the desire for a savior from the pandemic, a relief from climate change, a birth that ends racism and xenophobia, the list goes on.

​

Advent is a whole season dedicated to waiting and preparation. Luckily, we get to do this in person this year! How different it feels to be together in our anticipation, and how glad I am that we are in a place where we can do this while stewarding the safety of our community.
