Celebrate The Advent Season with us

Our theme for December this year is "Christmas in Narnia: Feeling Lost in the Woods."  Join us as we experience the story of Advent and Christmas through the works of C.S. Lewis, notably his 1950 children's classic The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  Get lost in Narnia with us as we explore the hope, peace, joy, and love that Christ brings to our lives.

All events listed below are free and open to the public!
