Adult Fellowship – Advent: A Time of Waiting in The Time of COVID

You are invited to take part in a four-session Advent series on Wednesdays at 7:30 starting December 2nd in conjunction with St. John’s in Somerville.

How does Advent, the first season of the church year, cause us to reexamine our desires as we prepare to welcome Christ, the Desire of Nations? The series focuses on that question, with the theme of Advent Ethics. We will meet virtually on Wednesdays from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sessions includes prayer, a scripture reading, reflection, study questions and sharing.

Schedule:

Dec. 2:  Redeeming Time: Being pushed back to Christ and to the Eucharist

Dec. 9:  What Are We Waiting For? Examining how Isaiah’s oracles are employed in Advent liturgies to interpret Jesus’ birth, ministry and suffering

Dec. 16:  The Three Advents: Looking at Bernard of Clairvaux’s account of Christ’s “threefold coming”

Dec. 23:  Advent of the Heart: Focusing on the Prison Mediations of Alfred Delp, SJ.
