The Promise of Advent Webinar Series

Hope, faith, joy, and peace. These Advent messages are needed this year more than ever before as people struggle with continued health concerns related to COVID-19, unprecedented loss, and a divided culture.

How can church leaders imaginatively plan and prepare for this beloved season without the traditions of its typical events and rituals?
