All of the advent readings go along with the Jesus Storybook Bible.  If your family would like to have a copy of this Bible we have them available at the church for curbside pick up.  They will be in a large tote outside the church doors.  We are asking for a $10 donation to the church for each Bible.  If you can't afford this please just take one, anyway, on us. If you don't want to use the Storybook Bible, the verses are posted for each day.  

 

Our goal is as a church community, we can follow along and do this advent reading together. If you have any questions, please email us at the link below.
