“Advent* is designed to show that the meaning of Christmas is diminished to the vanishing point if we are not willing to take a fearless inventory of the darkness.”
― Fleming Rutledge
*Old English aduent, from Latin adventus ‘arrival’, from advenire, from ad- ‘to’ + venire ‘come’.
We will gather for the ancient practice to begin the waiting season before Christmas with creating Advent Wreaths (or candle holder)! Supplies of evergreen boughs, pinecones, simple seasonal decorations, ribbons and more will be available so you can create your own countdown with candles.
We’ll provide the greenery and candles and you provide the creativity to create your own wreath or candle holder to help you in your waiting until December 25th.
This event is FREE and open to all! (Suggested Donation of $5 to help with supplies)
If you have greenery, branches, boughs or Christmas craft supplies you want to donate, BRING THEM!
Location: 2116 Walnut Street, Bellingham, WA 98227
