11:00 Service ~ Living Advent
Advent, a time of waiting, begins four Sundays before Christmas. It is a time of waiting for the sun to be reborn at solstice or waiting for the birth of Jesus at Christmas. Another way to understand the season of Advent is, “To wait in hope is to have what we hope for already come true in us through our hoping.” (NPR, Advent a Season for Hope from Darkness) Speaking: our minister Cathy Harrington.
