A message of Thanksgiving

Advent-in-process-1st-for-web-1030x773

Advent Shalom

The Advent season is almost upon us. This is the four weeks before Christmas when we reflect on Jesus, his birth, and what this means for us and the world. Often lost during Advent is a time to be quiet and at peace. At LIFEhouse we have an opportunity to change that.

 

We are going to dedicate each week of Advent by beginning the week with a quiet time of scripture reading, prayer, and quiet reflection. Each Monday during Advent@ 12 noon, we will gather in the sanctuary for Advent Shalom. As we press the pause button in these times before Christmas, we can anticipate the Holy Spirit will inspire us in a variety of ways.

 

Mondays of Advent 12 noon- 12:30 p.m.

Jen and Craig Thompson will be joining us for one worship service at 10 a.m. on November 29th. Jen (Wagner), a bright light of the LIFEhouse community for many years, and husband Craig, lead a farm ministry, Rockside Ranch (rocksideranch.org), where they help young men make progress in their lives. Their vision:

We desire to give people an opportunity to experience God away from the distractions of modern life. Together, we are challenged to step into our roles as people of integrity who can make a difference in the world.  We provide a safe place, hands-on work, good food, and a family environment. We are not a rehab or a clinical program, we are a stepping stone for people who desire to make positive life change and just need the time and space to make it happen.

Come and hear their story and meet Jen and Craig at a reception following in the Hall.
