12.22 [TEACHING] Practices of Advent (wk 4)

Jason Miller - The stories of the birth of Jesus in the Gospels are given to us for more than sentimental Christmas tales. They're the narrative expression of the deep wisdom of our faith. The arrival of God in the life of Jesus can teach us how to look for and welcome of the arrival of God in our world right now. This year, we're bringing that wisdom forward into our own lives by not just hearing the stories, but by embodying the practices inherent in the stories. This week, we’re reminded of the power of showing up, and the deep work of becoming fully present. 
What’s Happening
Join us for Christmas Eve at 4p or 11p, or through the podcast, and please note that there will be no gatherings or podcast on December 29th.
Give to our Christmas Offering.
