Advent

Advent includes the four weeks leading up to Christmas.  The word "Advent" is derived from a Latin word for “coming.”  This season is a time of preparation and expectation for the celebration of Jesus’ birth on Christmas.  Join us this Advent at St. Brendan's as we prepare for Christmas together!

Christmas is not always a time of joy.  Perhaps you are missing a loved one, or find yourself in a challenging season.  Join us on the longest night of the year, to hold space for these emotions and to also remember the light overcomes the darkness.  This is a service for healing and hope.  We hope you will join us and invite your family and friends.​​​

Small Groups - Honest Advent by Scott Erikson

Has the joy of the holiday season become painfully dissonant with the hard edges of life? Do you feel weary from the way Christmas has become a polished, predictable brand? You aren't alone. For too many of us, Christmas has lost its wonder. What if we stopped treating the Christmas story as something that happened a long time ago and started believing that it's a story that's still happening today?  Join us for a discussion of Scott Erikson's "Honest Advent."  Contact Laura with questions or to join a group.

​

Discussions of this book will take place at two times throughout the week:

• Sunday evenings at 7pm on Zoom for parents with children at home

• Wednesdays at noon on Zoom ​​

Christmas flower donations

Every year St. Brendan’s accepts monetary donations towards the purchase of our Christmas flowers, greens and poinsettias. Donations can be made in memory of those who have died or as thanksgiving for those whom we love.  If you would like to contribute to the greening of the church and have your announcement posted in the bulletin on Christmas Eve, please contact Jen in our office at Office@stbrendans.org. On Christmas Eve the names are printed in the bulletin, the tree lights are lit, and our beautiful church glorifies the birth of Christ. (Need to set a deadline?)
