What makes the "most wonderful time of the year" sometimes feel like the hardest? How can churches or communities hold space for sadness and joy? What does comfort look like when nothing fixes the pain?
Welcome to the second episode of our newest mini-series, "Advent After Dark." In just a couple of short weeks, Christmas will be here, and with that might come several emotions. For some, those emotions might be excitement and joy, and for others they might be sadness and grief. Wherever you are in those emotions, especially if you are grieving, know that you are not alone. Advent doesn't deny the darkness - it names it, and then lights a candle anyway.
Join Pastor Tom, Pastor Patrick, and Katie as we ponder the questions above. Grab a hot beverage (or a cold one), sit right where you are, and take a moment to pause with us while we prepare our hearts for this season.
