Homework before Wednesday's study:
Next week, there is no study and the following Wednesday, December 3rd, we will begin our Advent study. (Wow - is it almost Advent already?!)
The next study will be Waiting Here for You: An Advent Study of Hope by Louis Giglio. Here is a brief description:
Christmas. It comes the same time every year. We have plenty of time to anticipate it. Or, in some cases, dread it. And, before we know it, it's gone as quickly as it came, leaving us wondering, What's it all for? Is there really hope for today in the story of a baby born so long ago?
The story of Christmas is one of waiting. It is a story of how the people of Israel waited years and years for the promised Messiah to arrive. But the story of Christmas is also one that reveals how God works during seasons of waiting—times in which God is developing us to carry out God's plans in our lives.
We will start this on December 3rd. Hope you will participate!
Join us on Wednesday evening, 7:00 PM-8:00 PM, through Zoom. Let's wrestle with these questions together!
We invite you to join us as we embark on a journey together in pursuit of spiritual growth and enlightenment.
Get ready, your month is about to start soon!
