We cherish this time of year where the church across the globe anticipates celebrating the birth of Christ. Advent creates space within the hustle and bustle of the holiday season to reflect on the grace and miracle of Jesus’ birth, and connect with what it means for us today.

Today's episode is hosted by New Hope's Worship & Arts Pastor, Chelsea Hostetler. Our scripture reader is Gordon Davis and the passage is Isaiah 57:14-15. If you'd like to follow along you'll find a transcript is available at newhopepdx.org/advent

Thanks for praying with us this week! Throughout the season of Advent, we’re guiding you through five days of prayer every week. You won’t see any new content for the weekend, but we hope you’ll join us again on Monday as we continue our advent prayer times, taking intentional time to pray and reflect on the miracle and grace of Jesus’ birth.

If you’d like to get connected with us, we’d love to hear from you! Head over to newhopepdx.org/connect to get started. And as always, you can find more information about New Hope on our website which is newhopepdx.org
