Advent I - All Ages Worship

On the First Sunday in Advent, we invite people of all ages to join us in Church for an “all-ages worship” at 10:00 am. We will light the Advent wreath and share some of our favorite Advent hymns from Lift Every Voice and Sing. Co-Rector Cheryl Minor will share a Godly Play-style homily, which is designed to engage the imagination and invite participants into a deeper understanding of the scripture. This approach uses storytelling, visuals, and open-ended questions to encourage reflection and participation, making it accessible for all ages. This service will be onsite and online!
