2025 Advent Theme: The Will to Dream In a world of division and uncertainty, The Will to Dream calls us to see beyond what is and imagine what could be—a world made whole by love and justice.
Drawing on the visions of Isaiah and the song of Mary, we’ll explore how holy longing can become courageous hope, how lament can lead to new life, and how dreaming can be a sacred act of resistance and faith.There are many ways to take part in this Advent season.
In addition to worship—Sundays at 9:00 A.M. in the sanctuary and 10:15 A.M. in the parking lot or on Zoom—you can engage with an interactive Advent calendar offering something to do, think about, or discuss each day. An Advent devotional is also available, and our Advent Bible Study will use that devotional as its guide, meeting in person on Mondays (December 1, 8, 15, and 22) at 7:00 P.M. If you would like to join on Zoom, please let Rev. Annette know in advance.
