Every Advent we welcome the arrival of “Immanuel,” the God who came among us. During the upcoming season we will give thanks for the presence of this Holy One during the wild year now nearly passed: on December 4, looking back on our worship life, from inside to outside and from our pews to English cathedrals; on December 11, hearing from our partner organization Trinity Boston Connects about their work to heal the traumatic impact of systemic racism in our city; and on December 18, giving thanks for our ministries with children, youth, and their families. While the pandemic challenged every molecule of our common life, come and find inspiration by reminders of all the creative ways God kept arriving among us in 2022!
