"To Ponder as Mary Pondered" An Advent Evening of Reflection
Scott Brazil, presenter
Join us during this special Advent gathering as we explore together how Mary's pondering of the revelation that she was with child serves as a model of the contemplative life we are called to follow so that we may respond to our call to transform the world we live in. Utilizing the insights of great spiritual writers such as Thomas Merton, Richard Rohr, and Parker Palmer, as well as engaging in concrete prayer practices, we will unpack how to be contemplative disciples in a post-modern world so that Christ may be born anew in our time.
There is no cost to attend, but free will donations are accepted to support future Adult Faith Formation offerings.
Please RSVP below so that we have an accurate count to use for set-up and refreshments.

Fall 2023 Scripture Study: Questions Jesus Asks
One of the most striking characteristics of Jesus’ ministry is the way he continually asks questions of those he encounters. While Jesus’ questions do not demand quick and easy answers, they evoke new understandings, help listeners see different perspectives, and ultimately, change lives.
In this 5-week Scripture Study, we will prayerfully read and consider Jesus’ questions. From the simple, “How many loaves do you have?” to the challenging, “Could you not stay awake with me one hour?” and to one that inspires inward searching, “Who do you say that I am?”, each chapter invites us to new ways of encountering Jesus in the gospels to better understand who he was for his original disciples and who he is for us today.
