We live in a culture of words, noise and busyness. What if we were to stop and be still? What might we hear? What gifts might we experience in the darkness? Allow yourself to let go of the “shoulds” of the season; simply pause, rest, listen and be restored at this year’s contemplative, ecumenical Advent Evening of Prayer.
