Advent Soup Suppers:

All are invited to gather together and share a soup supper meal before the worship service. A variety of soups and bread made by the amazing cooks in the Good Shepherd community. This meal is free to all, and all ages are welcome.

About Advent Midweek Worship:

Each service will include a reflection by someone from the Good Shepherd community, on this theme: How Advent Is a Gift for Our Faith Journeys: Personal Reflections. Here is the schedule of reflections and liturgies:

  • December 2 — Jessica White; liturgy: Bless This Night

  • December 9 — Lynn Forrey; liturgy: Holden Evening Prayer

  • December 16 — Julie Armbruster; liturgy: Advent Contemplative Evening Worship

More about prayer around the cross:

This special dimension of worship will be similar to the closing worship time during the South Sound Lutheran Youth Activity Nights. Youth are specifically invited to help set up the candles and boxes, introduce the practice to the assembled, and guide people in the practice of praying with candles around the sandbox cross. This essential worship practice is intended to lift up the gifts of emerging youth leaders, supporting them with instruction, care, and encouragement throughout the process.
