Advent

Advent begins this Sunday, and when you walk into worship, you'll see that the sanctuary has been transformed with beautiful greenery, blue liturgical colors, and an Advent wreath! This Advent, we will follow a path from the Wilderness, to Nazareth, to Jerusalem, to Ithaca. Advent is a time of waiting and expectation, trusting that God will break into the world with new light and new hope. And so it seems fitting that tomorrow is World AIDS Day, a day when we remember that every day there are people living with HIV/AIDS, and we are ALL affected. You can click here to download or subscribe (scroll down for instructions) to a meaningful daily Advent calendar from the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance.

Also, you will be receiving an important letter from me in the mail within the next day or so. You can also click here to read it online. Click "Letter from Manda" to download the letter.

I'll meet you in the Wilderness on Sunday...have a blessed weekend!
