Online ~ Starlight ~ 3-part Advent series with Rev. Dr. Cameron Watts
Online Tuesday evenings 7:00pm – 8:30pm December 3, 10 & 17 Registration required Featuring chapters 1-3 from the book: "Starlight ~ Beholding the Christmas Miracle All Year Long" by John Shea. Christmas is a time of convergence when light and darkness, the divine and the human intersect in vivid ways. Shea helps us appreciate the feast of Christmas as a moment when "the spiritual suffuses the physical and turns it into a medium of revelation." Ordinary objects such as trees, stars, mangers, gifts, and communal meals become occasions which nourish our souls. The book is no longer in print so participants will receive the material (hard copy or online). Part 1 - Chapter 1: The Soul of the Season Part 2 - Chapter 2: Strange Stories, Spiritual Sight, and Blurred Guidelines Part 3 - Chapter 3: Waking Up on Christmas Morning
