"Advent Rejoicing" Online Advent Study with the Wisdom Years Ministry
Advent, says Kate Bowler, is “about finding a way to sit with the messiness of life while still holding on to the promise of what’s to come.” This Advent, we invite you to join our Wisdom Years community as we come together with our messiness to recall God’s promise to live in it with us.
Advent 2024 begins December 1.
Using Kate’s Advent material,
The Weary World Rejoices,
we will read daily devotions on our own,
then gather online on
Thursdays, December 5, 12 and 19, at 4:00 p.m. (Central time)
for an hour of gentle conversation.
The Weary World Rejoices material is online and downloadable for free. Each day includes
a daily scripture,
a short devotional,
and thoughtful questions for reflection
