Also, we’ll be having our Advent wreath making activity. We’ll have all the supplies for making Advent Wreaths with real greens. Suggested donation is $20. We’ll also have stations with other Christmas crafts. Plan to stay after worship to enjoy these fun events and get ready for the Advent season.

Book Group meets Monday evening at 7:30. All are welcome. We will be showing the film “Nowhere in Africa.” This is the true tale of a Jewish attorney and his family who flee the Nazi regime in Germany in 1938 for a remote farm in Kenya. (Book Group is currently reading the sequel “Somewhere in Germany” which describes the family’s return to postwar Germany.)
The weekly meditation workshop continues with one more session. Each session is a stand-alone, and there’s no need to have been at the others. Any degree of experience — from none to decades — is great. If you have any questions, please contact Kathryn Henderson at [email protected]. We hope to see you there! Each week Kathryn has suggested some meditation practices that can fit into a busy day. Read her suggestions here. The next session will be on Saturday, December 1, 9:00 to 10:00 a.m.: forms of chanting, including praying the Psalms and Taize chant.
