Advent Bible Study

"Advent: A Wandering Journey"

Join Pastor Nathan this Advent for a look at Advent: A Wandering Journey, a three-week adult study exploring how we can prepare our hearts for Christ’s arrival. Through Scripture, thoughtful conversation, and practical reflection, we’ll explore three themes: Watching, Waiting, and Walking.

We’ll begin by watching for God’s presence in a world marked by both brokenness and hope and by considering how our faith calls us to participate in God’s work of justice and peace. We’ll then explore how waiting can become sacred preparation rather than wasted time and learn to trust God amid uncertainty. Finally, we’ll reflect on how Jesus walks alongside us and how we can offer that same presence, compassion, and care to others.
