Join us December 4 from 9:30-11:30am for a morning to prepare our hearts for Christmas with quiet reflection and guided meditation led by Elizabeth Fender.

Our morning’s theme:

God’s mastery over time is never more on display than in the Advent story, where from the very beginning we see him overturning Zechariah’s “too late to have a child” and Mary’s “too soon,” arranging details with perfect precision to bring about his purposes. Through five vignettes from the Advent narrative, we’ll quietly contemplate what a reordered, restored relationship with time looks like in our own lives, and how this shift can transform our experience of waiting, work, aging, and even death.
