Advent 2017

During this Advent Season, we hope to provide you resources to help you draw closer to God and keep Christ at the center of Christmas for you and your loved ones. Advent is a time of waiting and anticipation. It is a season that reminds us to slow down and to spend time in prayer and reflection. As you journey with us through Advent, keep this page in mind as it will continue to change and add more resources as Advent continues. If you have any questions or if you have a resource you would like to submit for this page, please contact Katie Price at [email protected]
