Advent Formation Offering in December
Beginning on the first Sunday of Advent, December 1st, we invite you to join our Advent Formation offering titled "Advent When We Need it Most: A Call for Reconciliation." This series will be held each Sunday in the Great Hall at 9:45am and Monday evenings at 6:00pm in Jackson-Thorpe room. Both times will be throughout Advent.
Advent is a season for reflecting on our need for God's saving grace in our world. Together, we’ll explore the importance of reconciliation at a time when our country is deeply divided. The discussion will be facilitated by the Rev. Ranie Neislar. We look forward to sharing this meaningful journey with you.

Our Annual Blessing of the Animals will be Wednesday, October 7 on the Terrell Commons grass area! Bring your lawn chair or blanket to enjoy a hot dog dinner together that starts at 5:30pm, blessing of the animals will be after we eat. The Blessing of the Animals is an annual ceremony celebrating the human-animal bond, originating as part of the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment. St. Francis was admired for his deep and genuine respect for all creatures and his belief in the interdependency of humans with the rest of creation. He was a fiery preacher, and not many wanted to hear his message so he preached to animals instead. This ceremony helps us to remember how important our animal companions are and how they show unconditional love for us. If you have an older less mobile pet, or maybe one that doesn't handle social gatherings very well, feel free to bring a picture of that animal and we are happy to bless those.
