Advent is a season of holy waiting - a time when we prepare our hearts once again for the coming of Christ. As candles are lit and familiar carols return, we remember that God still breaks into our world with hope, peace, joy, and love.
This devotional book has been prayerfully written by members of our First United Methodist Church family. Each reflection is a window into someone's walk of faith - a reminder that Christ is revealed no only in the manger of Bethlehem, but also in the lives and stories of God's people today.
As you read these pages, may you find space to pause, to listen, and to notice how Emmanuel - God with us - is drawing near once more.
With hope in Christ,
Reverends Justin and Melissa Lowe
