Our friend Dave is having surgery on his wrist tomorrow. Please pray for minimal pray and a positive outcome. Help his anxiety to lessen and remind him...he is not alone. Thanks in advance for your prayers.

This intergenerational devotional is a daily experience where you will be able to prepare your heart for the arrival of Jesus through reading, prayer, reflection and action. Set aside a time daily to engage in this practice, on your own or alongside some family or friends. 

If you are a young family reach out to Jenn Surtees to get a copy of our Advent Tree and stamps that go along with this devotional to help engage our kids minds and bodies.
