ADVENT DEVOTIONAL
Advent Devotional
Advent is a season of anticipation leading up to Christmas. It begins on December 1st and invited us to prepare our hearts for two events: celebrating Jesus' birth and anticipating His promised future return. Advent is a time of hope, peace, joy, and love - a season to pause, reflect, and prepare for the incredible gift of God's son.
Advent devotionals will be available in the church lobby on Sunday, December 1st. You can also download a copy HERE.
Advent Wreaths can be purchased at a number of stores (Hobby Lobby, Target, Walmart) or online. CLICK HERE to purchase one online today.
