Hello Friends,
The great poet, writer and artist Jan Richardson writes,
“We all carry a cave, a hidden place within us, into which God longs to be born. Advent is a season to enter that place, to turn inward and encounter Love’s presence who seeks to emerge through us.”
One of the many gifts of Christian community is offering a place, and practices, to allow Love to emerge, to be embodied in the world, through us and our ordinary lives.
Advent and Christmas can be a time to invite generosity or deeper participation in those who are already part of our community of faith. And, it’s an opportunity to tell seekers and visitors about our ministry, and invite their support.
You are invited to join Vicki Nelson, Community of Faith Stewardship Support, and me to explore ways community of faith leaders might engage such practices in their settings.
