It is time to prepare our hearts and souls for Christmas and participating in an Advent study will allow you to do just that. Christmas music will fill the air and the glow of Advent candles will calm us. If you’re in need of some heavenly peace and the joy of gathering with others, these study options are for you. As you consider whether this is something you can fit into your Avent, know that some have outside reading, and others are fully contained during the group time.
We welcome any parent or guardian with kids and teens at home to join this Advent for a group during the Sunday Connection. We will gather for conversation, connection and fellowship. We hope to create time of support for one another as we tackle this holiday season. Growth Group will be available for your kids and teens during this time and infants are welcome to use our Nursery.

Fresh Faith is a group that forms during Advent and Lent. Since it isn't an ongoing group, it is a natural spot for those who don't regularly attend a class or are newer to St. Andrew to plug in for a season. For Advent, they will use the book And Unlikely Advent: Extraordinary People of the Christmas Story by Rachel Billups to guide their discussions. You will receive a book the first week.
Facilitator: Barb Jones
