RSVP for Ask a Sign of Your God

media release: The words of Isaiah, from the Christian Old Testament, were given to an ancient people in times of great political, economic and spiritual upheaval. Poetic and prophetic – they were words of warning and admonishment, and also reassurance and encouragement. Isaiah was tremendously influential on the heart of Jesus; this Advent we have the chance to open our hearts to that same influence through words that echo from a time past into our own times of upheaval. Join us for conversation, reflection, and a contemplative consideration of these beautiful poetic and prophetic texts – inspiring our spiritual imaginations, leading us to an ancient well of wisdom, and offering a through-line of hope. This series is open to adults.

Each gathering will include some teachings, reflections and small group conversations, and a time of contemplation on a text, a piece of art – writing, images, poetry or music.
