Our Advent series this year springs from the Psalm readings from the lectionary. We drew our theme from the fact that each psalm used the word restore. As we sit in the midst of a global pandemic, we are all longing for restoration. It’s our hope that in this series we can be invigorated in our love and faithfulness towards God and one another as we await both restoration now and in the age to come!

Lena graduated with her Masters of Divinity from Duke University Divinity School, where she focused on agrarian theology and creation care.
She spent many years studying Christian agricultural communities in Brazil, Italy, and the United States before receiving a call from the Holy Spirit to dedicate her life to helping a parish root itself in the agrarian way of life. She is passionate about developing uniquely Anglican ways to sustainably farm as a parish.
