Hope, faith, joy, and peace. These Advent messages are needed this year more than ever before as people struggle with continued health concerns related to COVID-19, unprecedented loss, and a divided culture.
How can church leaders imaginatively plan and prepare for this beloved season without the traditions of its typical events and rituals?
In The Promise of Advent webinar series, host Adam Hamilton – pastor and bestselling author of the upcoming Incarnation Bible study – will discuss church leaders’ hopes and concerns around Advent planning with our panel of pastors and experts. Their conversations will help resource and inspire leaders struggling with planning for Advent and staying spiritually focused on its promise of redemption.
- These practical and faithful conversations will be around such topics as:
- Translating in-person services to in-home and virtual environments
- Helping children and families celebrate Christmas in a meaningful way
- Preaching Advent’s message after a year of extraordinary loss and stress
Join us as we prepare together to celebrate the coming of Christ.
