Adult Formation in Advent: Hope in the Dark

Sundays, November 30th – December 21st  9:30am

The future is dark, with a darkness as much of the womb as of the grave. -Rebecca Solnit, Hope in the Dark

If you’d like to work together on the spiritual practice of maintaining Hope in difficult times, please join us for this Advent read-through of Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark. While it is a secular (and decidedly partisan) book, it’s an excellent small primer on the concrete acts and habits of perception that help us stay engaged in creating the change we long for. 

We’ll meet at 9:30am (between the services) starting on Sunday, November 30th and run four weeks through Sunday, December 21st.
