6:30 pm Wed. Dec. 8

Holden Village is a Lutheran retreat center in the North Cascades. Many of the hymns we sing in Sunday worship at Keystone were written by Marty Haugen who wrote it for the Holden winter community when there on sabbatical in 1986. A while back, two Keystone year-long volunteers, brought Holden Prayer to Keystone.  We will not be in the sanctuary this Advent, but we will be singing our hearts out online.  All welcome!

One of the texts for the first evening is Isaiah 12: 2-6 

You are welcome to tap in with or without video, and receive this musical offering in your background.  (We are all muted as we sing out from home.)

Wed. Dec. 1 @ 6 pm: Bible meditation group: zoom Lectio Divina Practice

December holds some special services @ Keystone on zoom. So this is our one Lectio Divina practice for the month- mark your calendars! Open small group- newcomers always feel free to drop in and check this out! Mid week centering time. Small gathering- prayer break via zoom with Pastor Lauren. Come for a deep breath and perhaps a little encouragement for your spirit, with fellow travelers. We crack open the scripture for the upcoming Sunday (Dec. 5.) Meditative, spacious, sparse discussion. No prep or experience necessary. Come anytime you can use a boost. The practice trusts that a community of listeners can illuminate the text in fresh ways, amidst the concerns on our hearts. Zoom cheat sheet comes by email each week.

*We practice most Wednesdays of the month at 6 pm on zoom (except when noted for Concerns of the World or other.) This month: Dec. 8 & 15 = Holden Prayer. So Lectio Divina is just December 1.
