Advent ❤️

This Christmas season, we are going through Advent each Sunday. Advent is a beautiful opportunity to center our focus on Jesus in the middle of a busy December.

To help you engage more deeply this year, we’re sharing an Advent reading guide supplied by Practicing the Way. You’ll find weekly Scripture readings and short reflections that you can use on your own, with friends, or with your family.
