Advent Week 1
"Hope: An Anchor and A Gift"
11 am, Michael Brundy, Guest Speaker
Sanctuary & Livestream
Let’s talk about hope. Hope anchors us during the storms of life. Hope has sustained us for generations. Hope is a gift that guides us forward. Today we light the Advent candle of hope to honor that spirit that sustains us and carries us forward even in our darkest hours. Let’s talk about hope.
Hebrews 6:19
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”

Thanksgiving: Fake It
Until You Make It
By Mary-Alice and Richard Jafolla
By consciously acting “as if,” we are creating new neural pathways, new ways for the brain to think. This can then change our feelings and behavior, which of course means we are changing our lives.
