One Christ, Many Cultures: Advent and Christmas 2024

Why do we look forward to Advent and Christmas? We are looking for the ways that the love of God is being born in new and interesting ways in the world. We are learning and growing when we recognize the love of Christ embodied in someone else. 

This Advent, we are honoring the ways that different cultures celebrate Christmas and asking ourselves how they embody the divine. What can we learn about God through their traditions? How can we examine our own biases and privileges? How can we deepen our own faith? Join us for One Christ, Many Cultures, beginning on December 1st.
