Advent Devotions

We will post devotionals on Monday, Wednesday, Friday during the season of Advent. We have also included some of the devotions we experienced together last Advent in 2022. Our focus last year was on Jesus as the “Prince of Peace” and these devotions accompanied our teaching series, providing practical ways for us to experience that Prince of Peace in our everyday lives.
