Join us this Advent season: “Words for the Beginning.”
Advent is a season of endings and beginnings. As the calendar year comes to a close, a new church year rushes in. Christ’s birth ushers us into new ways of living and loving—and yet, we feel the weight of many things coming to an end. The world as we know it spins madly on. In the year when these resources are released (2024), Advent will start as another election season in the US comes to a close. What are the reminders we will need in order to move faithfully through this threshold?
