fter very positive feedback from last year’s Advent series that included daily devotional readings and group gatherings, we will once again celebrate the season in this way, this year using the devotional, “Advent at the Welcome Table.” It is written by a group of 4 sisters, one of whom is an American Baptist minister. Advent begins Sunday, December 1, and the daily readings begin same that day.
The diaconate has purchased 50 copies of the devotional, which are available in the church narthex starting today. We are happy to provide them to you free but will accept donations. Please take only one per household, and if you typically read books digitally, you are encouraged to purchase your own in that format to leave the physical copies for others. We may purchase more if needed.
The authors also wrote two companion journals/workbooks to go with the main devotional, one for adults and one for children/families. We are not purchasing these companion books but you might consider getting one for yourself to enhance your experience of the series.
There will be 4 group gatherings for discussion at the dates and times noted in the graphic below. You can click here for the full series calendar.
