Advent in Narnia
with Pastor Mary Sellers. We will be exploring how C.S. Lewis’s beloved book
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
connects with the Advent season, using Heidi Haverkamp’s reflections from her book
Advent in Narnia
. As children, we are connected with the magic of the Christmas season. Rediscover the wonder and joy that come in this time of waiting as we prepare to welcome Christ into our midst. If you would like to read along with your family, a few copies of
The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
will be available to borrow from the church office.
