“Light in the Darkness”

This time of year is rich with the symbolism of casting light into the growing darkness. The season of Advent with its candles of anticipation, hope, peace and love; preparing for the winter solstice; Christmas Eve; Hanukkah…all evolved out of the need for light as days grow shorter. But what of the value of darkness, the need for rest, the peace of shadowed stillness? We’ll explore the embedded meanings of light and dark, and share some new ways of celebrating both. Rev. Eileen leads the service and Heike Eghardt is our Worship Associate.
