Hello friends. As Advent begins, we invite you to Practice with us. And not just on Sunday nights in the chapel. Each and every day, please join us into the deep longing, humble preparation, and joy-filled anticipation of this holy season. May our words and lives daily declare “O Come O Come Emmanuel!” Three ways to dive in…
(1) A Short Video. What is Advent and why should we care about the Christian calendar? Brian Zahnd, one of my favorite bible preachers, explains it well…
(2) A Blog. Kellye is writing daily Advent reflections at Willow’s Care Center Blog, and as you know, she has a wonderful gift for articulating the beauty and mystery of God. Each day, she’ll share a scripture passage, short reflection, couple questions, and a closing prayer to help anchor us in this holy season.
(3) Advent Music. Our friends The Brilliance have created two stunning Advent albums – Advent (vol 1) and Advent (vol 2) – and we highly recommend using them as a holy soundtrack this month. (It’ll also help you appreciate the music they lead on December 14th!) Check out one of their most beautiful songs, “May You Find a Light”…
