Our regular Sunday Gathering. An opportunity for wisdom, joy, solace, and community – followed by a healthy dose of caffeine, cake, and conversation.

Gatherings include live music, a story for children, singing, poetry and literature, a talk from our minister or a member of our Ministry Team, and time for sharing joys and sorrows.

The theme of this week's Gathering will be “Waiting or Working”. Today is the first Sunday of Advent in the Christian tradition. Christians begin a time of waiting that relates to their anticipation of the coming of a saviour. Waiting is a sign of faith and hope – a physical embodiment of a deep belief that things will be better in the times to come. Contrasted with this patient hope is an impatient sense of urgency – a conviction that good things will come only if we all work for them here and now. Where is there room for work in hope and faith? Where is there room for hope and faith in the urgency of action?
