Pauses For Advent

Every holiday season brings excitement, change, and memories from years gone by. The season of Advent is no different as it’s an intentional time to prepare for Christmas. Join others from Sanctuary for one hour each Sunday evening in December to discuss devotional readings, learn about the Christian history and practices of Advent, and to share in a time of fellowship and prayer. Sign up by Nov. 22 for more information or to reserve a devotional guide. Devotional guide available at Amazon (though not required for the group). https://www.amazon.com/Pauses-Advent-Wonder-Trevor-Hudson/dp/0835817105 This group is led by Brent Greene and will meet in his home Sundays, Dec. 1, 8, 15, and 22 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.
