Advent 2024
 |
Advent is the new year for the Christian church. The four weeks before Christmas are a time for reflection and pondering the great gift of Jesus Christ. This year you’ll have two opportunities to join an Advent study, both using the book “Heaven and Earth” by Will Willimon. Willimon is one of the best preachers to ever come out of the UMC. He is witty, entertaining and deeply challenging. He is never boring!
Pastor Pam will be leading an in-person group on Sunday mornings at 11:30 in the Chapel. The Sunday adult study group will be using it at 1:00 pm on Sundays on Zoom. This is a four-session study beginning December 1. You will be warmly welcomed in either group. You can purchase the book at cokesbury.com or amazon.com. If you would like to be part of the Zoom group contact Johanna Meyer-Mitchell via [email protected] For the Chapel group, get the book, read the first chapter and just show up!
