Common Devotional for Advent
This Advent season, we as a church will read the daily devotional "Advent in Plain Sight: a Devotion through Ten Objects" by Jill J. Duffield. Our devotional will focus on ten ordinary, every day objects that appear in the Christmas story. Hear sermons keyed to the readings and objects, and join the weekly Noon Zoom to discuss the readings! Contact Ted Goshorn for the Zoom link.
Purchase the book and begin reading on Sunday, November 26! The book can be purchased at the Mulberry Market or online.
