Riches Stored in Secret Places
Online reflection series for Advent 2024
Cost: £25, includes printed booklet
“I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places…” (Isaiah 45:3)
Most of us don’t relish the coming of the dark days of winter. But they have their own riches, invitations to rest, lie fallow, look after ourselves, dream new dreams. Time spent in darkness encourages us to journey inwards, think about living with mystery. And, just at the darkest point point of the year, we celebrate the arrival of the small, unquenchable Light of the World.
Featuring a new audio reflection to listen to each week along with a selection of other reflective material to read and ponder throughout the week.

The Gifts of Winter: A Quiet Day for Advent
Saturday 30th November, 10.30am-4pm,
St Columba’s by the Castle, Johnston Terrace EDINBURGH
Cost £35 (£25 concession, or pay what you can) includes lunch, coffee & cake
Take time out, as Advent begins, to consider the blessings of the season of winter – bright frosty mornings, the robin’s song, the invitation to slow down and recoup our energies. If we enter fully into this season, it has much to show us about rest, resilience, faithfulness, mystery, and the God who is with us in the dark as much as in the light.
The day will draw on a mixture of reflective approaches and creative material including art, poetry and music, and will include guided reflections and individual quiet time.
