For those who have experienced loss or the complicated grief of our world, the joy of the holiday season can often feel elusive and out of reach. We are creating a worship gathering to create space for prayer, reflection, and remembrance amidst the twinkle lights and holiday hustle and bustle. Pastor Kara and Will Lee will lead a "liturgy for endings and beginnings" on Wednesday, December 18 at 6:30pm in the Chapel. Bring your grief. Bring your weariness. Bring your fatigue, and allow yourself a quiet space to reflect and draw near to God this Advent season.
