All are welcome to this interdenominational event on the first day of Advent! Founded to reclaim Advent as a time of spiritual preparation, this Festival has gained a loyal following over its 30 years. The presentation of choral music and Scripture readings is “woven together by a stunning script”, which this year focuses on HOME. Please join us!
Last year’s attendees enthused:
“Wow! Wow! Wow! What a beautiful performance. We were transported to a state of peaceful reflection. It was a prayerful evening reinforced by such incredible singing.”
“Just what we needed”.
“Your profound reflections remain “alive” with faith, love and hope as I am using them throughout Advent as daily meditation and thought.”
