ADVENT DEVOTIONAL
Love Your Neighbor
Unwrapping Four Myths About Christmas
More often than we'd like to think, holiday traditions can leave us in debt, exhausted, bitter, lonely, and wasteful. How can we embrace new practices that prepare us for Jesus' arrival and orient us to the peace and justice of the Kingdom of God?
Join us as we practice a new liturgy with 2023 Advent devotional "Love Your Neighbor." Reflecting on social trends and scripture, we unwrap four Christmastime myths about consumerism, celebration, charity, and consumption. We invite you to embrace a new reality of simplicity, compassion, justice, and sustainability.
