We invite you to join us in a meaningful rhythm of daily scripture reading and reflection throughout this series during Advent. Here’s how you can participate:

Start Each Day with Scripture

Use the daily scripture readings provided below. These passages are designed to help you connect personally with God’s Word.

Practice Personal Devotion by: 

1. Slowly read the verse(s), looking for a word or phrase that stands out. 
2. Meditate on the word or phrase, repeating it and letting it speak to you personally. 
3. Respond to God in prayer, speaking from your heart what has been stirred in you. 
4. Rest in God's presence, letting go of words and simply being with God in silence.
