Thelo Church

Thelo Women, I’m excited to announce our next Bible Study. It will carry us over the four weeks of the advent season, leading up to Christmas Eve.

While I’ve never been part of an organized church community that officially celebrated Advent or Lent, I have been interested in both seasons for as long as I can remember. One of the things I love about them is the reminder, to be intentional about my time with God and in my actions. While I wish I would say I do that all of the time, in truth, life way too often takes the lead. I’m sure you can relate.

So, let me tell you I am excited about our first Advent study together. We’ve got the book Hope Has Come: The Promise of Christ in All of Scripture, from The Daily Grace Co.

So, what is Advent? Well it’s part of the traditional church calendar, that begins four weeks before Christmas and ends on Christmas Eve when we make intentions to remember and look forward to both the coming that was Jesus’ birth in a manger and His second coming! “When we consider the birth of Christ, we might tend to forget the impact of His arrival. By looking at an old tradition in a new way, this study will help us rediscover the wonder of Christ’s salvation. It will lead us to praise Jesus for giving us hope, peace, joy, and love in Him. Advent is a season of celebrating the coming of our Savior and preparing our hearts in anticipation of His return” (The Daily Grace, Co.). It is a season of reflection, preparation, and expectation to the true gift that we’re celebrating.

Just like last time, we purchases the study books for our ladies. We’ll give them out on Saturday November 19 at 11:30 AM during lunch. If you can’t make it to lunch you can pick it up on Sunday or I can mail it to you. At the end of the study, we will collect funds to donate to Homeless No More – an organization that supports families experiencing homelessness.

It all starts with your registration!
