Advent Quiet Day with Hannah Anderson

Advent and Christmas can be a loud and busy time, but here’s an opportunity for those of us who want to look inward to find meaning and quiet in this season. Prepare your hearts with an Advent Quiet Day with renowned author Hannah Anderson. Fr. Noah sat down with Hannah recently for a conversation about what the day will be like, if you’re interested to hear more. For those still debating whether to attend, Hannah offered a word of encouragement: “Give yourself permission to take time,” she said. She urged people to “realize that this is not being stolen from anything else” and to receive this space as a gift, knowing there is “no guilt attached by taking the whole Saturday off and spending time in these places of reflection and preparation.” We invite you to join us for this special opportunity to breathe, think deeply about the season, and reclaim time for spiritual growth.
We have reached capacity for this event. Contact the Church Office with any questions.

Christ & St. Luke’s is now a steward of the Heritage Edition of The Saint John’s Bible. This Advent, we will take advantage of this wonderful gift and use it to help reflect on some of the passages central to our understanding of Advent. This forum series will combine two sacred traditions of scriptural interpretation — Visio Divina and Lectio Divina.
Using the words of scripture, and the beautiful illuminations in The St. John’s Bible, we’ll spend some time reflecting together on this season of waiting and anticipation. This forum series will be participatory, with attendees’ input being central to the Visio Divina and Lectio Divina processes. We’ll be aided by our wonderful Christ & St. Luke’s docents of The Saint John’s Bible, who will help unlock some of the rich meaning woven into each illumination.
This class will meet during the 9:15 a.m. Adult Formation hour on November 30, December 14, and December 21.

Join us in the Parlor at Christ & St. Luke’s at noon following the 10:15 service on the second Sunday of each month.
