Advent Devotionals 2024
As we approach the Advent season, we invite you to join us in preparing our hearts and minds for the celebration of Christ’s birth. Starting on November 23, Advent devotionals will be available at each campus. We encourage you to stop by and pick up one, or even two devotionals, tailored to your specific needs.
These devotionals are designed to bring meaning and depth to your Christmas preparations, offering a daily journey of reflection, prayer, and hope. Whether you’re an adult, a youth, a child, or a family, we have resources that will resonate with your spiritual journey.
Let us come together as a community, taking this opportunity to grow closer to God and to one another during this special season. We look forward to sharing in this meaningful Advent journey with you.
