Sunday Advent Adult Forum “Angels: Bridging Heaven & Earth”

9 am |  Sundays in Advent beginning Dec. 1 | Barrett Room

On Dec. 1, Dec. 8, Dec. 15 and Dec. 22, from 9:10 am to 10 am in the Barrett Room, the Rev. Torrence Harman will lead us in an Advent study of angels. We will locate these special messengers of God in Old and New Testament scripture, look at how we earthly beings have viewed them over the centuries and ponder their presence in contemporary life. These sessions shape and build the conversation over the four Advent Sundays leading up to the Nativity. Hope you will join us for as many of them as your schedule permits.
