As we make our way through these last days of Advent leading up to Christmas Eve this Thursday, I hope you’ll find a moment to take a few deep breaths and center yourself in the peace & hope at the heart of this season.

Though our community and world may look far from peaceful or hopeful, our faith grounds us in something far more real and secure than the whims of the world. As you allow yourself moments to settle into the deeper anchor of this season, may you be delighted to find God being made manifest in your life in all the little, tiny profound ways that finds you this year.

Join me today for the last of the four weeks of Advent studying Henri Nouwen’s book Life of the Beloved. If you have missed all the others, no worries! You can still get something out of tuning in today.

Today: Tuesday, Dec. 22 @ Noon Eastern Time (link below)

You can find links to past weeks of the study on the website as well as an Advent reflection and Advent sermon.

If you’re looking for a way to worship Christmas Eve, I invite you to tune into one of Church of the Ascension’s Christmas Eve services on Facebook Live.

Join me in January for an offering:

A Mindful Epiphany: Following the Holy Spirit into the heart of winter.

More information to come.
