Midweek Advent Devotion - December 12
Advent is a time of preparation. Our midweek Advent devotion services help prepare us for Jesus. This Wednesday, we will hear that “My Soul in Stillness Waits” for Jesus’ coming. These evening services will be held at 6:30 pm and be about 35-40 minutes long.
On Wednesday, December 19, we will have a special service. It will be a candlelight prayer service with the theme “Blue Christmas.” Even during this joyous time of the year, we sometimes still experience sadness, loneliness, and loss. This service looks to remind the aching heart that there is comfort to be found in the love of Christ and the birth of our Savior—the light that shines in the darkness. Use this service as an opportunity to invite those you know who may be hurting during this time of year … and bring comfort to them.
