ADVENT IN A BOX
In a year that was not what any of us anticipated, one of its hidden beauties was the invitation to hold onto the most important things in life: our faith, our family, and good music. This Advent we want to help you hold onto these simple blessings, and we’ll come alongside your family each week with this Advent in a Box.
​
And throughout the week we hope each time you notice your Advent in a Box you’ll be reminded that your church family loves you.
​
May your family draw closer to the wonder of this Advent Season each time you gather for worship and around a simple box with candles.
