Advent Events
As a season of the church year... Advent invites us to remember the God who has come among us in Jesus Christ and points us to the coming of Christ to make all things well in fulfillment of God’s promised reign. The texts and tunes of these days invite reflection and joy as we deepen the longings of our hearts for a Savior.
Advent Sundays
November 30 through December 21
9:15 am to 10:50 am
Praying toward Bethlehem
Self-Directed Prayer Stations
Room 205
To orient our hearts to the great joy awaiting us in Bethlehem, you are invited to a weekly rotating set of self-directed prayer stations centered on God's covenant promises in Scripture to love us, save us, and come among us in Christ. Using the art and devotional readings of Ann Voskamp's Unwrapping the Greatest Gift, each station invites you to pray at your own pace using a variety of meditation techniques and sensory experiences.
Advent Mondays
December 1 through December 22
9 am
Lectio Divina Prayer Group
Guided by Rev. Keatan King
~20 minutes by Zoom
