Join Our Weekly Advent Worship Series: Words for the Beginning
Advent marks both endings and beginnings—a time of reflection and renewal. At American Baptist Women's Ministries, we invite you to join our Advent Worship Series created by Sanctified Art, where we celebrate the birth of Christ and explore new ways of living and loving.
Starting December 5, 2024, and continuing every Thursday through January 9, 2025, including special services on Christmas Eve, December 24, 26, 2024 and January 2, 2025 (pre-recorded and sent via email). Join us live on Zoom at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT for a season filled with blessings and reflections.
Each week, we will gather to listen to themes inspired by the words Mary might have shared with her newborn son. These are lessons not only for children but for all of us—reminders of the faith we strive to embody daily. Our selected scriptures resonate with the messages often heard in weddings, ordinations, and baptisms, guiding us as we enter this sacred new chapter. Just as Mary embraced hope in a God renewing all things, this series invites you to discover the transformative power of beginning.
Join us and be renewed in the spirit of Advent.
