Multi-Platform – In person Athens, and on Zoom

Today marks the first Sunday of advent in the Christian tradition, the beginning of an advent journey of wondering and discerning. In that spirit we consider our own journeys, as individuals and as a community. This morning we will take some time to reflect together, and to choose questions worth walking with for a while.

Join us at our regular zoom address:
