** RfA’s 2024 Advent Devotional kicks off today!
------------------------------------------------------------

Announcing RfA's latest resource: our Evergreen Advent ([link removed]) weekly devotional!

This guide for seasonal reflection takes inspiration from the ancient practice of incorporating evergreens into winter holiday celebrations. Addressing colonial histories and taking root in scripture and poetry, each week examines the theme of the season represented by its candle in a traditional Advent wreath. Beyond reflection, each week also invites you to live and serve that value in your own community.

Visit [link removed] ([link removed]) to download the guide, and to sign up for our weekly virtual gatherings through the month of December. We can't wait to study and connect with fellow seekers.

** A Message from our Executive Director:
------------------------------------------------------------

This can be a hard time of year for many people, particularly those in the LGBTQIA+ community. Uncertainty and fear about the state of politics, anxiety or inability to be with family over the holidays, a lack of sunlight and fresh air…we know it can often feel like too much. We want you to know that RfA is continuing our work, and we’re here for you. Need support? Have ideas for how we can support those in need? Let us know at [email protected]. We love you, and together we’re going to get through this.
