Advent Activities
December 13 - Advent Quiet Day
9AM to Noon. The people of God waited centuries for Messiah to come. Our spiritually nourishing season of Advent points to our longing we have for fulfillment, brought by Christ. In this morning of quiet we will absorb the Bible themes of waiting and fulfillment. We begin in Saint Clare Chapel. (For information, contact, Fr. David Price)
December 14 - Christmas Singalong
One of the best things about the Christmas season is the music! Join us Sunday, Dec. 14th from 5:30-7:30 PM as we gather to sing our favorite carols, new and old. We begin with a festive dinner in the Parish Hall, bring a side dish or dessert to share, the main course will be provided. Mark your calendar.
December 17 - Longest Night Service
Ever had a blue Christmas? Join us on Wednesday, Dec. 17th at 6pm in St. Clare Chapel. We gather with deep hope, contemplating the birth of the Christ child. It is also true that some years we feel blue at Christmas. Sadness may be tied to a specific loss, or it might be a general feeling of sorrow, loneliness, or alienation. The Christmas holidays always spell less sunlight, and more stress. This service acknowledges the range of emotion for people, and emphasizes awareness that we are embraced within the compassionate love of God, and support from one another. Come light a candle during the Prayers of the People: to honor a loved one, acknowledge grief, lay hold of courage, or the love we give and receive. Light a candle for your own special reason, and find yourself within the healing embrace of Christ’s love. End the evening with a wonderful dinner ($15 per person) in the Parish Hall.
