Our third Advent Quiet Morning is scheduled for December 14 between 9 and noon. In addition to offering a space for quiet reflection and a portable labyrinth, this year’s retreat will include candle stations where participants can make candles featuring the parts of the Way of Love that had become a hallmark of the Episcopal Church since shortly after the consecration of Presiding Bishop Michael Curry.

Each Way of Love prayer station asks you to take a piece of the candle and offer a reflection.

Turn: Jesus' constant invitation to us is to turn from sin and death and to walk in abundant Life.
Learn: Jesus' invitation to follow him means that we are called to be his disciples, his students, to learn from him and to put his teaching into practice.
Worship: At the heart of God's mission is a praying church who bear witness to the resurrection by gathering to share the gifts of God with one another.
Pray: Jesus models for us what it looks like to live a life that is perfectly attuned to God. This level of relatedness and awareness can be cultivated when we engage in the practice of prayer on a regular basis.
Bless: Jesus attracted a crowd everywhere he went because he demonstrated a ministry of blessing. To follow Jesus is to seek to be a blessing to other people for no other reason than we have been richly blessed ourselves.
Go: Part of what made Jesus so dangerous was his commitment to cross borders and margins for the sake of the kingdom of God.
Rest: One of the strongest commandments from scripture is the commandment to rest. In a season of endless consumption, the message is we are beloved simply because we are.

The Advent Quiet Morning is an opportunity to do as many or as few activities as you choose. Come at any time after 9am, knowing that the volunteer staff will begin cleaning up at noon.
