Presenter: Sylvia Keesmaat

Wednesday, December 7, 2022 @ 7pm via Zoom

Description:

Please join MILC for a advent season workshop.  As Sylvia Keesmaat notes of the women in the Christmas story… some are named, some are hidden. Some are unexpectedly front and centre, others are obscure. This workshop will explore the women of the Christmas story, those seeking to birth hope in a world where the powerful seem to control the lives of women.
