“Come, Lord Jesus.”

As we light the final Advent candle, we draw near to the joy of Christ’s birth. This last week invites us to slow down, reflect on God’s faithful love, and make room in our hearts for Emmanuel—God with us.

In these final days before Christmas, may quiet prayer and grateful trust prepare us to welcome Christ, whose peace is born anew in us and in our world.

SEAS Youth Ministries will be sponsoring the Giving Tree for Rare Breed again this year beginning next weekend, November 29th/30th.
