Marthas & Marys
Handel’s Messiah as an Advent Reflection
Saturday, November 19, 2022 at 8:00 am
 

George Frederic Handel’s Messiah is one of the most beloved musical works and closely associated with the Christmas Season although only a portion concerns the birth of Jesus. 

Please join Martha & Marys on Saturday, November 19 at 8:00 am in Bauer Hall when we will present an outline of scripture and musical selections from the Messiah that can be used to enhance your Advent journey. It is a different sort of holiday music.
 
Martha’s & Marys is a women’s social group united in faith supporting one another to find the courage to allow God to satisfy our spiritual hunger and to guide our hearts and lives. Join us for a time of community, reflection, discussion and fun. No assignments to complete or homework. Just time with other women.  All women are welcome.

Our Purpose

Growing in faith is the work of the Church. It was the heart of Jesus' own mission to help us human beings connect with our divine source, to help us age with goodness, wisdom and peace, and to help us build and live in the reign of God. The Church seeks to help us live with purpose and meaning by connecting what we believe with how we live, and how we live in community. Thus, we may connect our own inborn hunger for God with our tendency to attempt to satisfy that hunger in ways that do not lead to meaning, these alternate paths may include greed, seeking power, or overuse of earth's resources. The way of faith, on the other hand, leads us to find the courage to allow God to satisfy our hunger and to guide our hearts and lives. We may connect ourselves to those within our households, but also in our neighborhoods and world. We may connect questions we have about the tough moral decisions we face with the guidance of Scripture and the Church and the wisdom or our own elders.

Simply put, we are striving to become a women's social group united in faith.
