Advent Longing: An online small group study for Advent

December 2 @ 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm

What are you longing for? Join us for a three-week Advent Small Group Study about how we can use Longing as a spiritual gift and bring Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love to the world in practical ways.
December 2, 9, 16 (Monday) – 7:00pm – 8:15pm
The Canadian Shield Regional Council is offering the opportunity for individuals to access an Advent Small Group Study created by the Prayer Bench entitled Advent Longing. The Manitou Intentional Learning Community is delighted to announce that Rev. Dr. Shawn Redden has agreed to facilitate this three-session study online via Zoom.
Please note that:
 The group is designed only for those who do not have access to this study offered by their own Community of Faith.
Also, because of the contemplative nature of the study:
 The group will be capped at ten participants.
 Participants are asked to commit to attending all three sessions.
 Each session will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. The zoom room will open by 6:50. Please come early, chat with others, and be ready for the program to begin at 7:00pm.
From the Prayer Bench publisher website:
“This Advent Small Group Study invites participants to nurture longing as a powerful spiritual gift through an imaginative pilgrimage in an old-growth forest. It encourages us to notice longing in our ordinary days, recognize its gifts during times of desolation and reclamation, and welcome “thin spaces”—those moments of connection, support, and hope. In the context of a planetary crisis, we explore how to activate Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love in the world God loves.”
