with Rev. Erik Khoobyarian
Light of the World – A Beginner’s Guide to Advent by Amy-Jill Levine
Thursdays | Dec. 5 & 12 | 8 – 9 am | Chapel Library & Online

Bring your coffee and join Pastor Erik and others for a discussion about Advent. Author, professor, and biblical scholar Amy-Jill Levine explores the biblical texts surrounding the story of the birth of Jesus tracing the Christmas narrative through the stories of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Mary, the journey to Bethlehem, and the visit from the Magi. These stories open conversations around connections of the Gospel stories to the Old Testament, the role of women in first-century Jewish culture, the importance of Mary’s visitation and the revolutionary implications of Mary’s Magnificat, the census and the stable, the star of Bethlehem and the flight to Egypt.

Copies of the book will be available starting Nov. 1st for $10 at the Church Office, Sanctuary Welcome Center, and Chapel Narthex.
