Advent 2026 Study Series: Gifts of the Mother, by Sabra Engelbrecht

Saturdays from 4-5 PM

November 21, December 5, 12, and 19

In these chaotic and disorienting times, what are the practices that can ground us? How can we find the discernment we need and the hope for a brighter future? This year’s Advent study will guide us on a journey of discovery of the fierce, creative, powerful Mother love of God as we engage the birth narratives of Jesus. Following the traditional Advent weekly themes of hope, peace, joy, and love,  we will explore dimensions of God that have often been muted in Protestant traditions. Each week’s content also introduces ancient spiritual practices to help participants anchor themselves in the divine presence and love.

Participants will follow the daily, brief readings and prompts in their copy of the book and then are invited to come for four, 60 minute gatherings on Saturdays from 4-5 PM at Spring Forest: November 21, December…
