Reflecting on Our Relationships in Light of God’s Love
Advent Resources for Congregations and Individuals
Advent – the season of preparing for a relationship with Christ. This year, we will focus on our relationships with neighbor, family, self, and God.
May we love God, our neighbors, and ourselves
with all the creativity of our minds,
the strength of our hearts,
the power of our bodies,
and the resilience of the Spirit. Amen
