Looking Ahead: Advent Retreat
|

"Making God Credible"
Saturday, December 12, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm,
at the Bosque Center in Albuquerque
Dear Friends,
In a little book entitled Tokens of Trust, Rowan Williams asks how and why it is that we are able to trust, to have confidence in, to take refuge in, the God who has made us.
Taking as a starting point the crisis of trust that pervades our culture, Williams looks at the reasons we have to think that the world of belief is a world which we would want to inhabit. A part of his answer, is that we find reasons to trust God in one another as we see patterns of faithfulness in people who "take responsibility in their own lives for making God credible."
As an Advent meditation, Tokens of Trust can open our thinking to embrace the mysteries we will be preparing to celebrate at Christmas, by helping us to rekindle our reasons to trust. I invite you to take a morning of your time to draw apart to ponder these questions, as we gather for a parish retreat on Saturday, December 12.
The book will be available following church beginning this Sunday, or in the parish office. The cost is $25 for the book and retreat, or $12 just for the book.
I look forward to being with you as we engage William's thinking, which is always fresh, challenging, and inspiring!
Faithfully,
Fr. Joe
P.S. A study guide for Tokens of Trust is available by "Googling" "Tokens of Trust study guide," available online at:

December 5th and 6th are the dates for the 24th Annual All Angels Episcopal Day School Silent Auction and Holiday Fair! Saturday shopping hours will be from 1:00-3:30 p.m. The AAEDS children will have a music program in the church at 1:00 on Saturday afternoon followed by kid holiday activities including Saint Nicolas. This will give parents and parishioners a chance to shop without small ones following the program.
Sunday shopping will be 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
This past summer we remodeled the classrooms and purchased new equipment, toys and supplies. Now we want to turn our fundraising efforts to the playground remodel. Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 for phase one of the playground. With your help we can meet our goal.
We are currently accepting donations for this event. Please bring items to the school office, in the old parish office Monday through Friday. We will give you a letter for any donations. We also hope to see you these as a shopper!
This year we will continue with our gold tag "purchase now" items in addition to the auction items. As always we will continue to sell Boars Head Holiday Hams, breakfast burritos, and hot cocoa. All Angels English Toffee and Frontier Rolls will also be sold. Bidding will remain open until 1:00 p.m.
The parishioners of St. Michael's have always been very generous in supporting our auction and we couldn't do it without you. If you need help or more information, please call Anne Duran at 345-8147 ext. 161

An invitation to the Incarnation!
|
|
Each season of the Church's year usually is celebrated for seven weeks.
The Gospel that initiates the coming year
is like an introduction to the major mysteries of our faith.
Come and listen to the readings for Cycle C (mostly Luke) and some major prophets.
It is the coming of Light, Truth and Peace-the Word and the Person of God
coming once again to dwell with us on earth.
There will be stories, and the Word and conversations
about how we incarnate God's Word today.
This opportunity is a MUST
for preachers, prayers, poets (aspiring) and anyone hoping
that God really does abide with us.
December 4th - 5th, 2015 @ The Bosque Center
Friday Evening Session from 6 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
and Saturday from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
$60.00 with lunch on Saturday Included.
Please contact Toye at the Bosque Center to reserve a spot. 505-881-0636
(Limited availability of overnight rooms for an extra charge)
