2023 Invitations of Advent
Let’s set aside a little time to slow down during advent and pay attention. We are going to walk through the precious little book: Silence and other Surprising Invitations of Advent by Enuma Okoro. It is based on the unlikely story of Zachariah and Elizabeth and has true gems of how to integrate the whole of life into the sometimes lopsided season of Advent. Meeting 4 Sundays for reflection on the weekly portions of the book, discussion questions for the live chat, guided Lectio Divina on a corresponding Scripture, a simple commemoration practice or ritual and lighting of the Advent candle.
For this group offering, please feel invited to join with other Advent lovers for a private Facebook group with a private FB Live video every Sunday at 6PM EST 11/26, 12/3, 12/10, and 12/17.
It will be recorded if you can’t make it live.
It will include some don’t-miss points from the readings from the week.
It will include a Lectio Divina reading on a portion of related Scripture
It will include a brief commemorating ritual marking the content of the readings for the week and sealing them in our experience with intention. I will let you know what supplies you need to have with you if you want to play along at home. You will definitely want to acquire an Advent wreath and candles if you do not have one already.
Participation: You chose your level of engagement. You may want to watch and keep your experience private. I will pose a question or two each week that you can chose to interact with via the chat. If you have something on your heart and want to speak and and share, you are welcome to raise your hand in the video and I can add you in to share. The group is here to interact with each other throughout the Advent season.
