ADVENT QUIET DAY: WAITING FOR BIRTH (written by Marlene Kropf)

The whole creation waits with eager longing…
and has been groaning in one great act of giving birth;
and not only creation, but we ourselves wait… to be set free…
(Romans 8:19-23)
During the busy-ness of the holiday season, you are invited to slow down and wait during this day-long retreat.
As a group and individually we will wait -- with patience, with God's people, and in hope -- anticipating the celebration of the coming of our Savior and Lord.
