FROM THE RECTOR
Save the Date! Advent Quiet Day, Saturday, December 7, 2019
Many of you have met Christi Humphrey, a parishioner who joined us last spring, but you may not know what gifts she brings to St. Andrew’s. One of those gifts is leading retreats, and she will offer a Quiet Day at St. Andrew’s on the first Saturday in Advent. Below is a flyer describing the day. Sign up information will be available later, but meanwhile, mark your calendars! Thank you, Christi, for so generously sharing your gifts with us!!
Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming.
In the Gospel Reading for the First Sunday in Advent, the writer of Matthew’s Gospel invites us to Keep Awake! For we do not know on what day the Lord is coming. As 21st century Christians what does it mean for us to keep awake? With the pace of life, the needs of family, friends, co-workers and fellow community members, what are the ways we can stay present to where God is in our lives.
Please join us for a time of contemplation, conversation, and reflection on how the stories of Advent can help us know what it means to keep awake. We will spend time with the stories of Mary and Joseph and consider how their witness might inform our lives of faith.
Facilitated by Christi Humphrey, the quiet day will include times for contemplation, small group conversation, as well as, experiential opportunities including time with nature, art, and poetry.
Christi Humphrey, M.Div., is a spiritual director, retreat facilitator, and a colleague at the Bethany House of Prayer in Arlington, MA. She holds a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from the Center for Religious Development. For twenty years, Christi has accompanied others on their spiritual journey through various projects -- spiritual formation groups, pilgrimages, mission trips, and as a Minister of Spiritual Care.
