The stories, scriptures, and traditions of the Christmas season have been passed down to us throughout the generations. Many of us enter this season with a swell of memories and emotions as vast as the cultural and religious rituals this holiday holds. Like a tapestry woven throughout time, the Christmas story weaves us in—to remember how God has shown up in the past, to continue the work of collective liberation, to behold the presence of God in flesh and bone. The work of God is always unfolding—in and through us. This Advent, may you remember that you belong—to a story etched into the wrinkles of time, to generations that have come before and will come after, to a love that won’t let you go.

There are a few ways you can engage in our Advent series. We have a daily devotional that will be sent week by week here in the Flocknote. Ask Mitzi or Pastor Kelsey if you would like a printed copy.  

Our friends at A Sanctified Art have also provided a special e-reader version of this year’s Advent devotional, which you can access on your computer and mobile devices: https://online.flippingbook.com/

During Advent there will  be daily posts on our church Facebook page that correspond with the devotional or other content for each week of Advent. It is a great place to engage with the Advent content from home, to interact with each other about the devotionals, or to easily share something meaningful that has stuck with you this week from the series.
