Rev. Eleanor Terry

Rev. Ellie explores how during the time of Advent we can prepare for not just a one-day celebration of Christmas, but for an incarnation that will be born in us and will last for all time.  Secular Christmas preparations happen in many ways but preparing our hearts is often harder to do.  Easier to forget. Advent provides us the gift of time – to pause, reflect, slow down. A time to prepare our hearts for the extraordinary thing that is about to happen.

Blue Christmas

We gather to hold open together a strong and tender space of courage and compassion. We are part of one another, in communion with all that is.
