Here's Sunday's Bulletin. Note on p. 5 the post-Worship discussion in our Fellowship Hall of Marilynne Robinson's Gilead.

It is my hope and prayer your Thanksgiving was as full of gratitude as of stomach!
As for today ... hear the Christmas music around us?
The Black Friday and Cyber Monday jingles?

The rush has begun.

Which is a primary reason I love Advent. It slows everything down. Offering us all an alternative to the headlong: a long night's journey into day through ancient chant and timeless Communion, and through it all ... the mysterious power of hope.

December 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd:
Join Us for the silence and sounds of Advent Sunday Worship.

Let us watch and wait for Good News -- together. — Rev. Chuck
