All Things Foundry November 22–28
Good Tidings:
Advent and Christmas at Foundry
The time leading up to Christmas is one of great expectation, marked by rituals of all kinds. The scriptures for the season are like gifts we open each week, peering inside to see what message of invitation or promise God has for us. Angels — literally “messengers” — appear frequently at this time of year in our stories and from them or others, we receive gifts of nearness, forgiveness, renewal, and blessing. In these holy days, we prepare to receive again “Good tidings of great joy for all people!”

The good news is none other than new life, new hope, new peace — the very love of God in flesh. Join us through this season as we unwrap each precious gift we receive from God. Join us for the following services throughout the Advent and Christmas season:
  • Sunday, Nov. 28: First Sunday in Advent  9 a.m. & 11:15 a.m.
  • Sunday, Dec. 5: Second Sunday in Advent – 9 a.m. & 11:15 a.m.
  • Sunday, Dec. 12: Advent Special Music – 9 a.m. & 11:15 a.m.
  • Sunday, Dec. 19: Fourth Sunday in Advent – 9 a.m. & 11:15 a.m.
  • Tuesday, Dec. 21: The Longest Night Service – 7 p.m.

On Thursday, Nov. 11, Dr. Chris Myers Asch and Dr. George Derek Musgrove joined us in the Foundry Sanctuary to talk about their work and their book "Chocolate City: A History of Race and Democracy in the Nation's Capital." Watch their interactive lecture, and share it with your friends on YouTube or Facebook (the program begins about 13 minutes into the video stream).
