Celebrate: An Advent Experience
Wednesdays, December 4 - 18
The Advent season is a time to celebrate
that God came, is coming, and will come again. As you travel the road to
Christmas, the presence of Christ is being revealed in the world. He is in your
midst and takes up residence in your hearts. On Wednesday nights, December
4-18, at 7:00 pm in Lee Chapel, Pastor Scott Daniels will be exploring all the
reasons the people of God have to celebrate during the season. Celebrate devotional
guides, for individuals and families, will be available in the Sunrise
Bookstore December 1 and, although working through the devotional guide is not
a requirement to participate in this series, it is strongly encouraged.
Children ages 3 through 6th grade will also be exploring Advent through Godly
Play stories on Wednesday evenings.
