December 24-29, 2023
Advent is a term that means a period of time of expectant waiting and preparation for the coming of Christ. In this season of Advent, we are expectantly waiting and preparing for Jesus’ return. For the next four weeks, reflect with us upon Jesus’ birth and prepare your hearts for Jesus’ return. We will journey with Hope, Peace, Joy and Love.
This week’s Bible Reading: John 3
Focus Verse:
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
