Every Wednesday, from 11/30/2022 to 12/21/2022, 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
The Character of Advent
Character is an interesting word. If you were to say that someone was of “fine character” you would be commenting on their ethical, moral or even spiritual qualities that make them the kind of individual you are blessed by and strive to emulate. On the other hand, if you said someone was “quite a character” you’d be stating that they are either fun or frustrating to be around.
The Character of Advent, Who we strive to emulate, is the incarnate One. His promised conception led many to respond in a way that blesses all who know their story. The Character of Advent chapel services and Bible studies will help us to know their stories more deeply and emulate the Character of Advent in our lives.
Wednesday morning midweek worship services at 9:00AM in Bethany’s Sanctuary and Wednesday lunch time Bible studies at 12:15PM in Holy Cross’ Parish Hall focusing on The Characters of Advent:
- November 30th - The Character of Service from Luke 1:26-38
- December 7th - The Character of Silence from Luke 1:5-25
- December 14th - The Character of Support
- December 21st - The Character of Surrender
For your personal and/or family daily devotions, this Advent go to Advent Devotions: Lutheran Hour Ministries (lhm.org). This year’s Lutheran Hour Ministry Advent Devotion is entitled: A Son is Given. In A Son Is Given, we look at the promise of God to send His Messiah as fulfilled in Jesus. The Heavenly Father made good on His ancient pledge. In Jesus, we have the love of God come to earth in the form of a Child, who is our Savior and whose word is a light to our path.
