A significant theme of Advent is waiting. Like children waiting for Santa to come, waiting can bring excitement, hope, anxiety or disappointment.
We will explore what waiting meant for Abraham and Sarah; for the prophet Isaiah; for John the Baptist; and for Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
Our guide is Paula Gooder’s book The Meaning is in the Waiting, published in 2008 by Canterbury Press.
