Advent Series
A Quest to the Holy Land
Rev. Louise Rogers
During December, Louise Rogers will take the group on a quest to the Holy Land by studying The Journey by Adam Hamilton, where he travels from Nazareth to Bethlehem in a fascinating look at the birth of Jesus Christ. Hamilton approaches this world-changing event with thoughtfulness. Using historical information, archaeological data, and a personal look at some of the stories surrounding the birth, the most amazing moment in history will become more real and heartfelt as we walk along this road. Each Sunday will highlight a unique perspective.
December 5 – Mary
Reflect on the ways in which Mary was influenced in her community as well as how your community has influenced your own spiritual path. Are your responses to God similar or different from Mary’s answer to God’s call for her life?
December 12 – Nazareth to Bethlehem
Explore the magnificent journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, the pathway of Joseph and Mary.
December 19 – The Manger
Come to the place where Jesus was born.
The seminars will not meet on December 26 or January 2.
Coming in January
Please join us on Sunday, January 9, as we begin a four-week series, “Mind and Body.” We welcome three experts in matters of mental and spiritual health. Ed Sutter is Director of Youth Ministry and Family Counseling at Westminster. Graham Standish is Executive Director of Samaritan Counseling, Guidance, Consulting. Tom Kneier is a counselor with Samaritan.
We pray for ourselves – body, mind, and spirit. Where does our mental health fit in? During these turbulent days as we navigate the stresses from the pandemic, pressure of work, an uncertain future, and worries for our families and loved ones, we experience anxiety. Come to the January seminars to name and claim our mental health as we seek God.
