Advent is a season of waiting... preparing... offering. It is a season when we allow the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love of Christ to be born anew in us as we celebrate the coming of Jesus as Emmanuel, God with us.
Here are our ADVENT BLESSINGS for you and yours:
As we at Rolling Ridge prepare our spiritual home for this holy season...
as we gather our friends in a circle for our Advent Quiet Day...
as we offer up our gifts to Christ this Christmas season...
May the heart of your home be readied to welcome Christ.
May your circle of love be enlarged.
May your gifts and prayers be brought to Jesus.
May the quiet beauty of Advent bring new hope, peace, joy and love to your life this season.
May Christ be born in you anew this Christmas.
------------------------------------
If you are looking for a quiet space to rest amid the busyness of this season, join us for our Advent Prayer Journey on Sunday evenings at 6 pm eastern.
