ILLUMINATIONS on Sunday, Dec. 5th:

Welcome to the second week of Advent!

Time to prepare our hearts for Jesus’ birth.

This week: PEACE

Read: Luke 3:1-6

Ponder: O Holy Spirit of God, visit now this soul of mine, and tarry within it until eventide.  Inspire all my thoughts.  Pervade all my imaginations.  Suggest all my decision.  Lodge in my will’s most inward citadel and order all my doings.  Be with me in my silence and in my speech, in my haste and in my leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give me grace at all times to rejoice in thy mysterious companionship.

-John Baillie

Illuminations set-up at BOTANICA, Sunday Nov. 14th:
