Do you think the Christmas shopping craze starts too early? Often feel overwhelmed by the holiday hustle bustle? Between shopping and a hectic schedule of events piled on top of normal responsibilities, it’s no wonder many of us feel worn down by Christmas Day. And in the case of suffering, the season can be marked with a sense of sadness—even meaninglessness. Is it possible to reclaim a sense of authentic joy in spite of the distractions we face? Yes! Join us for a Mini Advent Retreat, “From Harried to Hopeful: Reclaiming Joy in Time for Christmas,” on Wednesday, November 30, from 7-9 p.m. in the parish center. During this brief retreat, you will discover how authentic Christian joy can be yours and consider concrete tips for cutting through the holiday hustle bustle to center on the “meaning for the season!”. Signup begins Saturday and Sunday, November 12th & 13th
