Arizona-California District news

Grace, San Carlos, Ariz., held its first Advent by Candlelight service on Dec. 21, 2008. Thirty-five women from the southern Apache reservation churches (Bylas, Peridot, San Carlos) attended the event, which was by women and for women. “It was a great way to help us all slow down and refocus on the true meaning of Christmas,” says Bethany Olson, one of the organizers and a teacher at Peridot Lutheran School, Peridot. “It was a big success for us. I talked with many of the ladies afterward, and they were more than willing to do it even bigger and better next year.”
