Like most things since March, this year's Advent season promises to be very different from years past. This self-guided Advent retreat isn’t about adding another thing to your holiday schedule. It’s about creating a space to experience the sacred and make meaning from this remarkable and challenging time.

Each week, participants will receive an email featuring reflections, artwork, music, and poetry along with questions and prompts that invite us to go deeper into our four reflection themes - welcoming doubt, welcoming discord, welcoming sorrow, and welcoming contempt. Week 1’s theme is “Welcoming Doubt - the Shadow Side of Hope.” There is an optional on-line gathering Wednesday evening 7-8 pm EST for participants to engage with others and offer responses to the retreat materials. There is no cost for this retreat. To RSVP, email info@gracechurchredhill.org
