Emmanuel Still: Advent 2024

We invite you to join All Nations this advent season to consider again the story of Jesus’ arrival in Bethlehem - how his peace unfolds, to whom his arrival is announced, and what it means for you today. 

Our Advent theme, “Emmanuel Still” was inspired by Kelley Nokondeha’s excellent book. She says: “The first advent was about the arrival of God into a world of woe, and every advent since invites us to grapple with what Jesus’s coming means to our fraught landscapes now” (p. 13).

Sign up for a weekly email with a written reflection, Scripture, further reading, and questions for further reflection. You can expect an email in your inbox every Sunday morning of Advent!
