Pre-Advent Book Study:
Dear Friends: I'd like to invite you to our next parish book study beginning in November!  The season of Advent is fast approaching.  To prepare for this holy and exciting time in the life of the church, I will be leading a Pre-Advent book study on Wednesday nights from 7-9pm at the church. (November 9,16,23,30). This will give us a chance to prepare for the season of Advent so that when it arrives, we may be fully immersed in its meaning and be able to be present to God who will come to us in human form.
The book that we will be using is titled "Light of the World. A Beginners Guide to Advent by internationally renowned scholar and teacher Amy-Jill Levine (AJ to her friends!) AJ will help us explore the biblical texts surrounding the birth of Jesus.  We will trace the narrative through the stories of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Mary, the journey to Bethlehem and the visit from the Magi.  The book is currently available on Amazon in paperback, Audio Book or Kindle (e-reader).  Click the link here to find it. Light of the World: A Beginner's Guide to Advent: Amy-Jill Levine: 9781501884351: Christianity: Amazon Canada
It may also be available at your favorite Christian bookstore or Chapters Indigo.  If not, please ask them to order it for you.  If you're having trouble getting it please let me know and I can help.

You don't have to commit to all sessions.  Come when you can and as you are.  We will learn and grow in faith together!
With thanks for your faithful support of the ministry at HTSSM!
May blessings! Rob+
