Incarnation: God Made Flesh, God with Us
For this Advent series, we explore Incarnation - what does it mean that God became a human being?  We'll start with the basics, and make it practical. 
How does Incarnation affect us today?
 
 
November 30: 
The Rev. Christopher Powell on Incarnation Basics - What does it mean and how does it show us that all of life is Holy? 
 
December 7:
Christy Glick on Incarnation and the Arts - What can we learn from musical and visual portrayals of the Incarnation?
For this session, you'll be invited to bring an object that reminds you of the Incarnation.
 
December 14:
Christy Glick and the Rev. Nadia Stefko on Incarnation and Community - How do we experience the Incarnation when we interact with one another - in hospitality, serving, care, and worship?
