Common Devotional for Advent
This Advent season, we as a church will be learning and experiencing the season together through Christmas Carols! We'll read a daily devotional together focused on Christmas Carols, Why This Jubilee? by James C. Howell; hear sermons keyed to the readings and hymns from the devotional for that week; and sing and hear those same songs in worship. This is a wonderful way to come together as a church during a wonderful and beautiful season. Purchase the book and begin reading on Sunday, November 27!
You can purchase the book here or through most online booksellers.
