Advent Contemplative Prayer Services
Dates: December 8, 15, *, 29 Time: 6:30 pm to 7:15 pm
For centuries, the church used Advent as a time of anticipation, time to reflect and ponder the coming of the Christ-child. Each Friday in December from 6:30 to 7:15 pm, Rev. Beth and Rev. Annie will offer a time to gather, breathe deeply, slow down, and consider the precious gift of the season.
*On Dec. 22 at 7 pm, there will be the Blue Christmas Service.
