Every year in December, the world tries to convince us that our lives can finally be perfect for the four weeks leading up to Christmas. We are inundated with the sounds, sights and smells of the season. While it is good to enjoy the lights, parties, and presents, our Lord beckons us to go far deeper. During these four weeks, God calls us to behold the mystery of who He is. And if we are willing to behold Him, He will reveal to us who we are. It is there in the beauty of Advent that we will find the peaceful promises of this season.  There will be a $10 charge as this will cover any extra childcare, tea, snacks, and a special gift for you! Please consider kicking off this season with us! Please use this link to RSVP:  Advent Christmas Tea December 6th
