Everlasting Light Advent Workshop

Light is all around us, waiting to be seen.

The lights on the houses and Christmas trees make us feel better than any other time of the year. The light from the twinkling stars overflow our minds with God’s awesome wonder. The smell of spices from the burning candles reminds us of times spent in the warm love of Grandma’s kitchen during the holidays. Carols abundant with images of lights, stars, candles, and love float through the winter air this time of year. And, a star’s light leads the world to the birthplace of the Baby Jesus. All of this light reminds us that we, too, are the light of the world as Jesus taught us to be.

Please join in this year’s Advent Workshop: Everlasting Light. All ages are welcome to share their light with the world on Saturday, December 5th from Noon to 1:30 p.m. A sign up sheet will be posted on the Christian Education bulletin board outside the church office.

“…yet in thy dark streets shineth, the Everlasting Light, the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee, tonight.”

Light is in us, waiting to be shared with everyone.
