This weekend marks the start of the Advent season. We are excited to bring back the Advent Conspiracy. You can find our more about the series here. We kick the series off with the first tenant of the Advent Conspiracy: Worship Fully. Worshiping God with all your heart starts with understanding that worship is bigger than one hour at church each week. It means living a life of “simple worship,” stripping away all the distractions in our life so we can focus fully on God with all our mind, strength, soul and spirit.
Who do you know that could use some encouragement to slow down and worship fully this Christmas? Consider inviting them to service with you! (Worship Schedule, Series Page)
