Longing for Peace: An OpenSpirit Advent Evening
Sunday, December 13, 2009; 7 – 8pm
Performing Arts Center of MetroWest; Framingham, MA
Longing. Each week during this Advent season, our OpenSpirit gatherings open us into the deepening dimensions of our longings. This week, we offer ourselves to the gift and calling of peace – not as the absence of violence but as the positive energy that gathers us together into community. 
On this night, our praise and prayer will find its shape in poets’ and prophets’ yearning for peace, from Isaiah writing as an exile from his beloved Israel to the longings of contemporary prophets.
Our music, as always, will open us through an eclectic blend of sounds both ancient and new. In this gathering, we’ll join the medieval tradition in voicing the great “O antiphons” found in the carol, “O Come, O come, Emmanuel.” 
Join us, at 7 p.m. in the Metro-West Performing Arts Center as we mark the third Sunday of Advent.
The light is growing. The gift of peace is calling to all in our time. Will you, too, hear her voice, and come?
