~ 2020 Advent Series with Pat Clarkson ~
|
|
Throughout this Advent, please join us as we welcome Pat Clarkson for a special 4-week series on Advent. Pat invites us all to join her in preparing for the reaffirming of the Christ consciousness that rests within each of us.
Message from Pat: "The late Rev. Eric Butterworth shares, "The word advent comes from the Latin which means arrival. It is a coming into view of something, usually referring to the coming of Christ, traditionally, into the mass of Christ or Christmas. In other words, it's getting prepared for a personal experience or visitation of the Christ. In a metaphysical sense, it can, and I think should mean to all of us, an expectation of and a preparation for the coming into our consciousness of our own divine potential, our own Christ self.”"

Advent Week 1
Hope and Faith: A Sustaining Duo
with Pat Clarkson
"... I tell all of you with certainty: if you have faith like a grain of mustard see, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there.' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you." ~ Matthew 17:20
In this first week of Advent, we reaffirm the Faith which has sustained us in 2020's uncertainties.

After being called to ministry while attending Unity Comox Valley, Pat Clarkson completed her Ministerial Diploma program and served as the Spiritual Leader for Unity Victoria. She has since retired to Saskatoon to be closer to, and in care of, her family. She values the opportunity to remain connected to Unity Victoria through spiritual conversations.
Pat will be speaking at Unity Victoria up to and including January 10, 2021.

Last year, Unity Victoria prepared gift bags for senior ladies. One of our congregants brought this London Drugs' initiative to our attention as a great alternative for 2020!
|
|
London Drugs has a small Christmas tree in their stores with tags hanging.
Each tag has a name of a senior and some items they would like.
You buy those (some or all) and return with the tag to their store, unwrapped.
It is for men and women, unlike last year’s Xmas gifting we did. And will bring smiles to those less fortunate than most of us!
