As a part of our Advent journey of preparation for Christmas, we will gather for devotional time, and conversation. It will be time to pause, reflect, and engage the story deeply. We will be looking at videos and discussing the art of John August Swanson. Lunch is provided.

The Christmas season is often marked by expressions of joy, excitement and happiness. However, this time of expectation can often overshadow the pain and hurt many experience during this season. So on one of the longest nights of the year, we will gather together to honor those parts of our lives with a quieter service of prayer and song.

The Christmas Story in many ways was and is a story of surprises. The Elizabeth and Zechariah, Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, and the innkeeper, were all unprepared for what and how the events would unfold. In was uncharted territory for all of them. We’ll capture the element of surprise and wonder by telling and enacting the Christmas story together, each of us having the opportunity to help bring the story to life (participation is optional though encouraged). We expect a bit of chaos and a whole lot of wonder will ensue, but how fitting for a story that embodied both those as well as the beauty of community responding to the good news that hope was breaking into the world! A Soup Sunday will follow worship that morning.
