Here are a few things to put on your calendar. But first, we had talked about actually having a get together this December. Post a comment if you have an alternative idea to my proposal below, so we can discuss what we would like to do.
It has been revealed to me that a shopocalypse of a film,
What Would Jesus Buy, will be showing on Wednesday, December 10th, 7pm, down at the
Sorenson Unity Center,
1383 S 900 West. It’s free, and I propose that we make this event our get together for December. More information will be made available over at the
SLC Film Center soon. (You can see the preview over on Andrew’s blog
Hackman’s Musings)
Also, for those like me who want to celebrate Advent, but grew up in a church tradition that doesn’t pay any attention to it. The Catholic Diocesan Office of Liturgy has been kind enough to offer a series that “focuses on the theology, spirituality and symbolism of the advent season.” There will be three presentations, all held from 7 to 8 pm:
"Advent: A Season of Expectation", Thursday, December 4th, at St. Ann Parish, 450 E 2100 South.
"Our Lady of Guadalupe: Symbol of Hope", Tuesday, December 9th, at Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel at Juan Diego Catholic High School, 300 E 11800 South, Draper.
"What Child Is This: The Antiphons and the Coming Messiah", Wednesday, December 17th, at St. Ann Parish, 450 E 2100 South.
And last but not least, that nutty state senator of ours, Sen. Chris Butters, R-West Jordan, wants you to have a Merry Christmas, not a Happy Holiday’s, and is willing to waste your tax dollars to make sure you know that (In the papers
here and
here). So send him some of your love and wish him a Happy Holiday’s at:
