Advent 2021

/

Advent is here.  This year has been very challenging for all of us, and we may wonder how to hold hope and joy in our hearts right now.  

Advent blesses us with time to step back and focus on our true Hope and Joy- God loves us so much that He sends His only Son so that everyone who believes may have eternal life. ~John 3:16  

Take time during Advent to talk to Jesus and give Him your joys, struggles and questions. He came into this world for you!

Here are some resources and opportunities to help:
