A Saturday in Advent

by on July 9, 2026 with No Comments

Facilitated by the Rev. Carol Westpfahl

Advent invites us to prepare ourselves for the birth of Christ, God with us. We hear again the angel’s proclamation to Mary, and to all of us who follow her child. Reflecting on the recent work of A.J. Levine, we will hear how other annunciations and other births in scripture may inform our welcome of Jesus this season.

Part of the Wisdom School 2026-27 season

NOTE: This event is in-person only.
