Sunday Morning Formation in December will take place on 12/1 & 12/15. Join us on Sundays in between services (8:50-9:50 am) to discuss the daily devotions for Advent. These daily meditations invite you into a more faith-filled observation of Advent and Christmas. Some devotions explore traditional Christian ways to make the seasons, from the Advent wreath to Christmas pageants, from favorite hymns to setting up the creche. But on other days, the reflections offer ideas about how to infuse a sense of the holy into popular traditions such as decorating the tree, sending Christmas cards, and exchanging gifts. In these remarkable seasons of Advent and Christmas, the preparations we make to welcome Jesus should not only be in our homes but also our hearts.

Wednesday Formation  Join us on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 6 pm when we resume with a new class. Wednesday night formation for December 4 and 11 looks into the what, when, and the why bother of Advent. This season often gets lost in the commercial flood of Christmas, but we in the Anglican tradition are fortunate that the season survives in our liturgies and music. We will look at these rich lectionary readings and hymns that we only get to sing once a year about the coming of Christ, the Word made flesh, to be born in Bethlehem, and his return in glory on the last day. Our Advent hymns will guide us as we heed the words of John the Baptist, and prepare the way of the Lord with Carolyn Parmenter.
