Saturday, December 5, 9:30 am to Noon

St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church

[/vc_column_text][mk_blockquote style=”line-style” font_family=”none”]”Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.” — Matthew 3:3[/mk_blockquote][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1790882010174{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]John the Baptist appears in all four Gospels with a vital, life-changing message: turn your heart toward God and clear away the obstacles that keep you from experiencing the light of love. While John’s rugged, ascetic lifestyle might seem intense, his radical focus shows us exactly what it takes to welcome God into our lives.

As we begin this Advent season, take a moment to look inward. What is cluttering your spiritual path? Imagine what may open up for you once that path is cleared?

You are invited to join us for a time of silent reflection and conversation as we explore John’s timeless call to open our hearts to the presence of Love.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1622155582214{padding-left: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1790882194427{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”] DATE:
