Light for the Journey
2025 Advent Series
This Advent, we invite you to a season of reflection, renewal, and anticipation—a time to open our hearts to the quiet miracles that guide us through life’s waiting and wonder. Each week, we’ll explore the inner landscapes of Hope & Faith, Peace, Love, and Joy—not as distant ideals, but as eternal lights we carry with us on the journey toward Christmas and beyond. Together, we’ll discover how preparing our hearts can illuminate our lives, our communities, and the world around us.

Week 1 | November 30Holding a Heart Full of Hope
“Hope springs eternal” is a phrase we’ve all heard, but what does it really mean for us, especially when life feels heavy or uncertain?
Together, we’ll discover how keeping hope in our hearts can be a healing force: restoring our spirits, strengthening our resilience, and rippling outward to touch our world with compassion and possibility.
Week 2 | December 7Peace in a Chaotic World: The Inside Job of Advent
If Peace only worked on calm days, none of us would have it.
Thankfully, that’s not how spiritual peace works. Join us as we explore the surprising ways Peace shows up inside the chaos—and how to access that deep calm even when life is loud, messy, or a little extra.
In the second week of our series, Rev. Aliza, drawing from her book Paradox of Awakening: Finding Peace in a World of Chaos, we’ll rediscover Peace as a living frequency, a spiritual technology, and a daily practice of alignment.
Week 3 | December 14Return to Love
In Unity, we know incarnation is the Divine expressing through each of us—so how do we choose Love in a world that often pulls us toward fear and grief?
Join us for week three of Advent as Lesa Walker, LUT, guides us in exploring what it means to embody Divine Love.
Week 4 | December 21Advent: Joy
We’ll have more information about this message on the advent of Joy from Dr. Nancy Little, LUT soon!
