The Vulnerability of Joy

In the advent season, we anticipate the coming of joy and possibility. In hard times, feeling joy and anticipating joy can feel like a major risk. Sometimes it feels safer to shrink our hopes and expectations. What can we learn from the Christmas and advent season about opening up to the vulnerability of joy?

Religious Education (RE) classes are happening this week. Children are invited to come first to the worship service before RE begins after the Time for All Ages. Childcare will be available from 9:00-1:15 in the Treehouse for our youngest community members, and all ages are always welcome there during events before or after the service.

Choir will rehearse at 9am and sing hymns during the service.

This month, we are sharing our offering plate with Worthy Now Prison Ministry.

The Zoom link is in our e-newsletter, our Facebook group, and our Discord group.
