As the bustle of life around the holidays blooms and grows, the Advent season helps to slow us down. In this slowing down of our lives, we are reminded of the reality of pain and brokenness in our lives and in the world. We are reminded of the many ways that this Christmas season may feel different or a little less inviting this time around despite everything else continuing as normal. As we engage this Advent season, we are encouraged to hold space for boldly proclaiming the messy feelings of our lives and to seek hope in the life of Jesus Christ.

All are invited to join us for a service of worship where we acknowledge the pain and wait in the darkness together, praying for wholeness and healing to come. United in worship, we will honor the need to slow down and hold space for both darkness and hope through song, silence, prayer, and Scripture. Come, all are welcome.
