Does Christmas Day find you exhausted and drained?
Do you breathe a sigh of relief when the holiday season is over?
Do you worry that once again you will miss the meaning of the season?
One way to avoid feeling deflated on December 25 is to spend time in early Advent reflecting on what you would like to see happen during this liturgical season. Setting intentions to accomplish your desires is the first step toward a more meaningful Advent.
Christians have traditionally used the four Sundays and weeks of Advent to prepare for Christmas. We will honor this tradition by reflecting on traditional incarnational theology as well as exploring more contemporary insights into the Incarnation. We will then utilize images from magazines and other publications to collage (SoulCollage®) new understandings of the Incarnation for ourselves. No artistic talent or training is needed! Ages 18+.
