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.

Join us for food, fellowship and a special speaker.
Church family, we’re setting aside this night to do what we were made for — to be still before the Lord, to lift our voices together, and to pray as one body.
This won’t be a concert or a service with an agenda. It’s an open space — where worship flows into prayer, and prayer rises back into worship. There will be moments to sing, to listen, to move toward the altar, to receive prayer, and simply rest in God’s presence.
On November 9th, there will be a Choral Evensong service in the Sanctuary at 5 PM. Choral Evensong is a service that occurs in the evening and is comprised of choral led music with scripture, prayers, and hymns. This is an ancient Anglican service familiar in most Cathedrals offered on a daily basis, led by the choir in song. Itis a time for quiet, reflective thought as the choir leads us in song to prepare our hearts for the evening.
