Advent Series
"The Gifts You Bring" Christmas has been celebrated in our culture as a time when we offer gifts to one another. But are we conscious of the real and lasting gift that is our own life? Are we aware of how we bless the world, help our neighbor and make a difference? This Advent Series, led by Rev. Merritt and Rev. Schade, will ask us to take a spiritual inventory, and to consider the many ways that we are uniquely called to give, and to receive. Our Monday Night At The Church series will be held at 7:15 -8:30 p.m., starting on November 30th, and will be held through December 21. The first in the series on November 30th is: "Complex, Crazy-making, Wonderful, Terrible Gifts."
You are welcome to attend any or all sessions.Monday Night At the Church begins at 5:30 p.m. with an hour of Zen (meditation) practice in the Chapel. Come Be with us in the intimate silence - no experience necessary!
The centerpiece of MNATC is of course Ken Waugh and friends' fellowship dinner at 6:30 p.m.
Childcare is available every Monday night. All are welcome to any or all of the Monday night activities.
