Join us this Advent as we insist on hope in the face of fear.

We will again be inspired by the beautiful art, poetry, liturgy, and music from our friends at A Sanctified Art. You can pick up one of their beautiful devotionals in the sanctuary or check out the Midweek update for a link to an e-reader version of the devotional.

And plan to join us for some special gatherings throughout the season of Advent.

Dec. 7 is our annual Advent Fair with crafts and activities for all ages and a vendor fair from some of our local artisans to help with your holiday shopping.

Every Wednesday at 7 PM, our Contemplative Evening Prayer group will have time for quiet, prayer, and reflection.

Dec. 17th, the Contemplative Evening Prayer will include our annual Longest Night Service.

Dec. 24th at 5 PM is our Christmas Eve Candle Light Service.

Dec. 28th, the Sunday after Christmas, we will have a relaxed, Breakfast Church service. Bring a breakfast item to share. We will gather around tables instead of in rows and share conversation instead of a sermon.

Jan. 4th, we will continue our tradition of choosing Star Words for the coming year. If you still know where your card is from last year, bring it with you for a time of reflecting on the year behind us and looking forward to the New Year.

This Fall, we have been talking about what it means to come to the table of hospitality, love, joy, peace, and grace, both as people who are invited and as people who extend that hospitality to others.

When we celebrate communion at Sojourners, we talk about how we practice an “open table,” which means everyone, everyone, everyone is welcome. We don’t always live this out perfectly, but this is a central value of our congregation and a calling we try to live out as followers of Jesus.

In these difficult times for our country, we continue to work on building a church that follows this call to love and justice from God. We do this in all the ways we give to the church and to our community, in all the ways we show up, speak out, and invite folks in, and in all the ways we pray and care for one another.

After two weeks of hosting our unhoused neighbors in our sanctuary, we return to worship together and come to the table of thanks. It’s a Sunday to rejoice in and give thanks for this church, this community of seekers, where all are welcomed and loved. A Sunday to celebrate the witness, service, and faithfulness that this church strives to demonstrate in this world. And a Sunday to bless the pledges we each make to financially support the mission of this church.

Every pledge, large or small, is a gift, and we give thanks for all our gifts.
