About this Event
“The Weary World Rejoices”
A 4-Week Community Advent Study Group based upon the work of Kate Bowler
OVERVIEW: Advent marks the beginning of the Christian calendar and lasts for the four weeks before Christmas. This year, Advent begins on Sunday, December 1st and ends on Tuesday, December 24th. It is a time of expectant waiting: a time of reflection, hope, peace, love and joy. It is a season to prepare for Christmas and to remember the gift of God to humanity.
For “the days are coming” say the prophets of old. “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will fulfill the good promise.” The promise of truth, compassion, restoration, and justice. These four promises are how we will orient ourselves in each of the four weekly gatherings. They will serve as our guiding themes where we will be:
· Grounding ourselves with prayer
· Engaging with each other through rich conversation
· Inspiring our souls with the Word
SCHEDULE: Each session will be held on the first Monday of each of the four weeks of Advent (December 2, 9, 16, and 23rd) from 7:00 p.m. through 8:00 p.m.
RESOURCES: We will use “The Weary World Rejoices” Advent Group Guide created by Kate Bowler, Ph.D. Kate is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, award-winning podcast host, and a Professor of Religious History at Duke University. She is also a terminal cancer survivor.
WHAT TO EXPECT: What participants can expect is:
· Four one-hour gatherings designed for deep connection, reflection, and spiritual growth
· A personal Advent Group Guide
· Active Inspiration for the week ahead
· For those interested, a weekly spiritual challenge for deeper engagement
