2023 Advent Devotional Available
This devotional was born out of a desire myself and others across our region had to help you enhance your journey through this sacred, holy time we call Advent and Christmas. This sacred time where we remember that the God who created time, who is outside though not distant from time, chose to step into time for the sake of you and me! That, at Christmas, we remember and celebrate that God the Son, sent by God the Father, conceived by God the Holy Spirit stepped into time to redeem you and me! That “when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children” (Gal 4:4-5).
