An Advent Journey Through Hope, Peace, and Joy

Wednesdays: December 2, 9, 16, and 23
6:00-7:30pm at CUMC

Join us for Christmas, Grief, and Grace, a welcoming and compassionate Advent study inspired by Feeling Your Way Through Grief by Missy Buchanan. Together, we'll make space for honest emotions, share in the comfort of community, and explore how God's hope, peace, and joy can meet us even in the midst of sorrow.

This is a place to come just as you are, to be encouraged, to listen, to share if you wish, and to discover the grace that carries us through life's most difficult seasons.

Led by: Michelle Williams, Deb Johnston, and Erin Rose

Volunteers will work together to assemble raised garden bed kits and fill the completed beds with soil. The raised beds are designed for simple assembly, so no building or construction experience is needed, just a willingness to lend a hand!

This will be an outdoor, hands-on volunteer opportunity. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes appropriate for gardening and the weather. Volunteers should be prepared for some lifting, carrying, bending, and working with soil.

CUMC lead volunteer for The Sharing Garden is Laura Durant:
