Journey Through Advent

 

Journey Through Advent: A Biblical Look at the Immigrant and Refugee Journey in America

- Led by Susan M. Smith, Ph.D.

Immigration is a large and divisive issue in our country right now.  How are we to understand immigration as Americans and Christians?  What is the history of immigration in America?  How have the laws changed?  How have immigrants been accepted through the years?  What is our response now?

Jesus and his family traveled to Egypt as refugees during Herod’s reign.  How can we meet Jesus in the immigrant experience in America?

Join us in this Advent journey at St. Brendan’s Episcopal Church in Franklin Park (2365 McAleer Road, Sewickley, PA 15143).  Wednesday evenings in Advent: Dec. 5, 12, and 19.  Supper at 5:30 p.m., followed by the 1-hour course and an Advent service at 7:00 p.m.
