SUMMARY:Blues Christmas | Breaking Open | Rev. T. J. FitzGerald
DESCRIPTION:Our annual time to acknowledge the ways this time of year can try our spirits. The blues is a balm for your soul. \nRev. T. J. FitzGerald is preaching. Featuring special Blues Music.\nWorship at 9:30am and 11am CST in-person or online • 7:00pm ONLINE ONLY \n \nBreaking Open Series\nBased on the beloved hymn “People\, Look East\,” this Advent series invites us into a season of waiting that is also a season of preparing\, softening\, and opening. We will notice what is breaking open in us and around us — moments when cracks let in light\, when hearts stretch to hold both sorrow and hope\, and when breaking open becomes a path to transformation. \nOur journey begins with an exploration of preparation that looks beyond the visible tasks of the season to the deeper work of readying our hearts and spirits for what lies ahead. We will plant seeds of possibility in seemingly barren ground\, trusting in growth we cannot yet see. We will join in the joy and wonder of our community’s Christmas pageant\, welcoming the light that children so naturally carry. And we will create space for the tender truths of this season\, acknowledging that sorrow and struggle are also part of our Advent journey\, and that even in those places\, healing and hope can take root.
