Advent & Christmas at Green Street
Advent is the season of preparation leading up to Christmas, and we're excited to be journeying together! Our Advent theme this year from A Sanctified Art is Words from the Beginning: Advent Reminders for New Seasons. Advent is a season of endings and beginnings, with a new church year rushing in as the calendar year comes to a close. Christ’s birth ushers us into new ways of living and loving—and yet, we feel the weight of many things coming to an end. The world as we know it spins madly on. This year, Advent starts on the heels of another fraught election season in the US. What are the reminders we will need in order to move faithfully through this threshold? Join us as we journey together through the darkness into the light of Christmas & Epiphany.

The Early Service (8:45 a.m.)
Our 8:45 a.m. service is a casual, quiet, contemplative service featuring a time of silence, Scripture, preaching, and communion. Sometimes nicknamed "The Introvert Service," this worship opportunity make space for meditation and contemplation in an early morning timeslot and offers a weekly opportunity to receive the sacrament of holy communion. Note that we occasionally have only the 11:00 service; check our email newsletter or social media especially around holidays in case of any changes!
11:00 a.m. Worship
Our 11:00 worship service is a celebration of the diversity of the human family, a no-frills service that is thoughtful, personal, and deeply spiritual. Our blended worship style features the musical leadership of some of the best local blues and jazz musicians and includes thought-provoking messages that illumine the many connections between Biblical stories and the social justice issues we face as a society today. We celebrate communion at this service once a month, and 11:00 worship usually runs between an hour and an hour and a half. This worship service is available in-person and online via Facebook or YouTube.
