Advent is a season to anticipate the radical inbreaking of God with us. We are invited to linger, ponder, wait, behold and wonder. So often we are rushing, worrying and busying. For these four Sunday evenings we will practice a rhythm that encourages pause and pondering through simple practices meant to center and fill us and, perhaps, sustain us beyond this season.

Join as many or as few sessions as you like. To deepen reflection and centering, consider creating a comfortable space for yourself as you join. A candle is needed for November 28, which you may want to use each week. For December 12, you will need paper, pen and colored pencils or markers.
