Sunday Morning Advent Study| December 1, 8, 15, 22| 9:00 AM| Library
This four-week study focuses on the experiences of four sets of often overlooked characters in the Nativity story. This Advent season, Rachel Billups guides readers through the themes of hope, love, joy, and peace by sharing the stories of Elizabeth and Zechariah, Herod, the Magi, and the shepherds. Each set of unexpected characters has something to teach about living faithfully on the journey to Christmas.
