Memory Verse: “Can any of the worthless foreign gods send us rain? Does it fall from the sky by itself? No, you are the one, O Lord our God! Only you can do such things. So we will wait for you to help us.”
Jeremiah 14: 22
 

The Season of Advent

The season of Advent is a season for waiting.

We wait in anticipation of celebrating Jesus’ birth while also praying, Maranatha, Come, Lord Jesus, come!

We wait on the Lord as the normal activity of a disciple.

As we wait, God works in and through us.
