• The Living Story: drive-thru live nativity

  <div data-block-type="2"><h5>The Living Story is a drive-thru nativity experience with multiple stations, beautiful narration tracks, and live animals where the community can experience all the wonder and celebration of the birth of Jesus, without exiting their vehicle.</h5><p>In 2020, we hosted the first Living Story. In just three nights, we had 1,008 vehicles through our parking lot to hear the story of the birth of Jesus! In 2021, we had 918 cars visit! This year we are excited to tell the Christmas story from a new perspective - we’ll be comparing the CHAOS of Christmas to the PEACE and LIGHT that hope in Jesus brings!

• Bridges to Contemplative Living with Thomas Merton at Prairiewoods

  <p>The practice of contemplative living helps us respond to everyday experiences with greater awareness of our connections with God and others. It becomes a positive force in our lives and provides direction for our journey, enabling us to embrace our truest selves. On these Thursday evenings with Prairiewoods via Zoom, facilitator Carole Butz guides us to explore the truths of human existence using the <em>Bridges to Contemplative Living</em> series, which includes excerpts from the writings of Thomas Merton and other authors. The process involves readings, reflections and contemplative dialogue. A free-will offering will be accepted. Please register for your first session by noon on the previous day to get the Zoom link. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2022-12-15 20:30:00 -0600
