The Advent Festival of Lights service, entitled “Women: The Love, Power, and Spirit of Transformation,” will be held at St. Philip’s In The Hills Episcopal Church on December 4, at 7 p.m. This candlelit service seeks to illuminate the feminine face of God.  The service will feature readings, prayers, instrumental music, and congregational singing. Following the service, there will be a lighting of candles and a journey through the new outdoor labyrinth.  After some time for personal reflection, a potluck dessert and coffee will take place in the Murphey Gallery at St. Philip’s. A freewill offering will benefit Emerge!
