Advent and Christmas Devotional
Our 2015 Advent & Christmas devotional is available through the church office and will also be outside the Sanctuary this Sunday. It is filled with scripture from the Revised Common Lectionary and thoughts from our pastoral and ministerial staff. The Advent and Christmas Journal begins with the First Sunday of Advent, November 29, and ends with the Epiphany of the Lord, January 6.
Our hope is that this journal will keep you focused on Christ's return and lead you through your own Bible study as you walk through the Advent and Christmas season.
We will also be emailing the daily devotionals beginning this Sunday, November 29, the First Sunday of Advent.
