| Sanctuary set (2019) |
Pastor Charles invites the congregation to
participate in the creation of the fourth annual Advent and Christmas
devotional. The theme for this year’s devotional is sometimes called a Crèche,
Nativity set, or manger scene. St. Francis of Assisi created the first crèche
in 1223 in an attempt to bring the focus of Christmas back to the birth of
Christ and away from material, gift-giving customs.
It’s simple! 1) Select a person, an animal, or an element of
the Nativity that speaks to you. You can also describe a Nativity set that you
have in your home that is special to you. 2) Write a short reflection (one to
two brief paragraphs) on what that that person, animal, element, or set means
to you. 3) Submit your devotion to the office by November
13 either in writing or via email.
