Our Advent Sundays will include an opening ritual of music and prayer and quiet, as well as witness stories from our parishioners on their experiences of light illuminating darkness in their lives.  We hope this will be a moment of stillness in your soul, and balm for your spirit as we journey through Advent together. Dorothy Day wrote: “We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love, and that love comes with community.” Let us lift up the light and love in our community as well as the light of God within us and in the coming of Jesus into the world.  Blessed Advent to you.
