Week 4: Love

Join us today for a special reading of all the scripture we have studied and prayed through over the past four weeks of Advent.  If you would like to read along with the scripture, click here to access the document. A big thank you to the InterVarsity students, staff, and ministry partners who helped make the Advent Series happen! Common Hymnal generosity allowed us to use their song Mothers and Shepherds as a part of this podcast. You can follow them on social media @commonhymnal. Make sure to check out their website commonhymnal.com too! We would love to receive feedback and hear how you encountered God throughout Advent. Please fill out the google form here. Lastly, thank you for journeying through Advent together with us! It has been a joy and treasure! All music is used with permission or a license.

Today, Keegan invites us into music worship and for us to consider practical ways to love our neighborhoods and communities.  Encounter God: Noel by Lauren Daigle, Angels We Have Heard On High by Pentatonix, and O Holy Night by Carrie Underwood Encounter your Neighbor: Today, we encourage you to take some time to reflect on who is in your neighborhood/community and ways you could serve them. You could take action this week, or this could be something you start in the New Year on a  regular basis.
