As the holiday season bustles around us, the Lutheran Church in the San Juan Islands and Saint David’s Episcopal Church gives islanders a moment to enjoy the quiet.

On Dec. 14 and 21 — the remaining two Wednesdays during Advent – the season of hope-fill waiting for the promises of Christmas — the church will host a 45-minute candle lit evening service of quiet, simple prayers, readings and song at 6 p.m. in St. David’s Church on the Corner of Park and Marguerite.
