The Coming of the Light
Communities of faith around the world mark earth’s regular passage from dark to light (and from light to dark in due season) with everything from pop-up solstice celebrations in cow pastures to ancient vespers services in great cathedrals. What is it about twilight that speaks to the human soul, and what spiritual challenges are hidden in this earthly give-and-take of natural light? These questions and more will be on the table when we meet in January to celebrate the Christian season of Epiphany, the season of growing light. If you plan to come early for dinner and a twilight organ concert by candlelight, be sure to register at https://onrealm.org/fpcnaples/PublicRegistrations/Event?linkString=Y2MwMWFmZmQtYTc2Yi00YjMxLWIyNGUtYjNhNjAxNWI3ZGEx
