At Greystone, we revel in the beauty of God's ordered creation and push hard against the haste and waste of modern life. This, and not only rigorous study and research, is the Greystone way. We routinely slow down with quality food and drink and extended table conversation, song, and laughter, believing that this habit helps strengthen and enrich our relationships to one another, to the texts and ideas we discuss, and to the God who has wisely made us the ways we are. The times and seasons of the year, then, and the occasions we have for marking God's faithfulness in them, are important to the Greystone community.

This year, we are pleased to host the second annual Greystone Winter Feast, the continuation of a lively tradition in which we aim to encourage this way of life as a Greystone-wide phenomenon. We invite all our students, friends old and new, supporters, and curious inquirers to join us at our table in Longview Hall at Greystone Coraopolis (Pittsburgh), PA for high quality Manhattans flowing from our donation-only and centrally located bar counter, a dinner of exquisite food and carefully-paired wine, the unveiling of a new speciality crafted Greystone coffee, all saturated with boisterously joyful singing of psalms and hymns and the grand introduction of our own Greystone Parting Song!

Come along for laughter, conversation, and untold other unplanned moments of revelry. Stand with us at table to belt out the "Boar's Head Carol" as the pig, "Longview," completes his life's journey from a local farm through our kitchen to our table, regally resting on his platter-bed. Hear some updates of what the Lord is doing for and through Greystone. Catch up with old Greystone friends, make new friends, share God's mercies and grace in life, home, ministry, and community. Celebrate the deep goodness of God the Creator and generous Father, and do so with the warmth of Christian devotion that melts the harshest winter chill. Celebrate the Gospel heartily together in a world and in a time pierced through with many sorrows, frozen with fear and loneliness. Here on this night, in Greystone's Longview Hall, there will be no bleak midwinter.

Come eat, drink, and be merry, for in Christ we live! We look forward to seeing you.
