WELCOME TO PEACE.  WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR WORSHIP DURING THE ADVENT SEASON.

We’re marking Advent this year by entering in to All Creation Waits, a book written by Gayle Boss, which features 24 wild animals from North American habitats.  Creatures from the book will make their way into our worship life throughout the season.  In the beginning of her book, Gayle writes:
“In late fall, in the world’s north, the sun glides low in the sky. Light dims, the air cools, signaling every living thing. Animals know what to do when the season of dark and cold spreads over the earth. Every creature makes changes to its home, its body, its habits. Every creature makes ready to wait until the earth wakes again into the light & warmth of spring. Waiting in the cold dark will be hard but each creature knows… The dark is not an end.  It’s a door.  It’s the way a new beginning comes.” 

On the 1st Sunday of Advent the day begins with our traditional ADVENT FESTIVAL @ 9:00am, featuring hands on activities and crafts for the whole family.  A light breakfast will be available.  Toward the end of the morning author Gayle Boss will join us via ZOOM to read from the Children’s edition of her book.  You won’t want to miss this special day!

Advent Worship follows at 10:30am, when we light the first candle on the Advent wreath.
