Thoughts from Pastor Eilidh

This week begins the season of advent where we prepare our hearts and minds to look for Jesus. Our theme this year is glimmers in the darkness. As the nights grow longer and we face cooler, wetter weather, as we continue to deal with uncertainty in our nation, we long for hope, peace, love, and joy. We know that if we sit in the darkness and look long enough we find glimmers of light all around. This year we are training our eyes to see Christ's light! We have so many ways to center and celebrate this season. A new addition to our schedule is the chance to hear the story the Mystery of the Cradle over 4 Tuesdays! Tammi Landis will read this tale written by Rev. David Tinney.  See the list below for all of our other Advent and Christmas offerings. I am really excited about our Window lighting with Story & Song where we invite our community to come to the building and learn a little bit about our amazing stained glass windows! We hope all season long you find light present with you as we center in Christ,

-Blessings Pastor Eilidh
