Advent means arrival or coming. During this sacred season, we actively recall the arrival of Jesus as the Word made flesh, and we joyfully await his final return at the end of the age. But as we remember the past and anticipate the future, we are also attentive to our divine encounters in the present, the ways God "arrives" in our everyday lives. Amy Ekeh's Advent, Season of Divine Encounter helps us look closely at three key Scripture passages to recall, recognize, and anticipate the ways God comes into our lives and our world.


SPECIAL SESSION

DEC. 12
ADVENT: A season of hope, challenge, and change
A reflection on the scriptures and liturgy of this sacred season
GUEST SPEAKER: JOE NUZZI


This study uses scripture to encourage participants to share about their faith and life.  As such, while there is scriptural content the sessions focus less on the study of scripture and focus more on sharing life experiences based on the scripture.  Sessions require little to no at home preparation.

Sessions are facilitated by fellow parishioners using the resource materials.
