Julian Reid

Notes of Rest for Advent uses the Bible and solo piano as a spiritual massage for those waiting for the Savior's coming. Come rest.

Notes of Rest is a spiritual retreat hosted by artist-theologian Julian Reid. This ministry fuses reflections on the Bible with hymns on solo piano for the sake of cultivating rest, contemplation, and creativity in all who gather. Notes of Rest for Advent Series is 4 one hour-long events (1 hour per week for four weeks) crafted for those who are anticipating Jesus&#x27; second coming by reflecting on his first. By letting questions emerge from a passage of the Bible, Julian will lead the participants in a time of reflection on how this in-between station in life affects your life now. And towards the end of our time, you&#x27;ll have a chance to respond creatively to what God&#x27;s been doing in us. Write a song, draw a picture, sculpt silly putty, begin a screenplay, or do whatever else God&#x27;s placed on your heart!It is Julian&#x27;s sincere hope that our time will make way for you to encounter The Lord who has promised to come again for God&#x27;s Church just as Jesus came the first time in the manger. May this rest deepen your hope, faith, joy, and peace.Notes from Scripture. Notes into Music. Notes for Advent.
