Advent Details

Draw Near

The draw near theme encompasses 1) an affirmation that God has drawn near to us by taking on flesh and experiencing what it is to be human, 2) a plea for God to draw closer to us and to the spaces in the world that are broken, and 3) a charge for us to draw near to God by leaning into wonder, justice, truth, and one another.

Parking

Christmas is one of our busiest days of the year, we are so excited to welcome many new faces to our church. In anticipation for the additional guests, we have partnered with a few of the local businesses to acquire more parking. As usual, we ask that you leave the spots closest to the building for people with mobility issues and guests. Click here to download a map detailing all the options for parking on Christmas Eve.
