Advent Quiet Day
Sat., Dec. 7 9 a.m. to Noon

Take some time for quiet contemplation of the season! The theme of the day is “Waiting”. Advent is a time of waiting for the Christ Child’s arrival and we will study examples of waiting in scripture, as well as the nature and practice of waiting (based on Henri Nouwen’s The Path of Waiting). All adults welcome to attend. Breakfast treats available in the morning and light lunch will end the event. Donation baskets available to defray the costs of lunch. Sponsored by Hope’s Daughters of the King Chapter.
