We invite you to partake in a special Advent Devotions series by Pr. Bristol. Advent helps us prepare our hearts and spirits for Christmas. One beautiful way to mark this season is through the ancient “O Antiphons,” evening prayers once used in the final seven days before Christmas. Each began with a sung petition—“O come…”—calling on God by a title from Old Testament scripture, linking Christ’s coming to God’s promise of salvation. The beloved hymn “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” echoes this tradition. Our seven-week devotion series will explore each Antiphon: O Wisdom, O Lord, O King of Nations, O Branch of Jesse, O Key of David, O Dayspring, and O Emmanuel. Click on "The Word and The Spirit" blog above for the devotions.  May these reflections help you pause, listen, and draw near to the hope and wonder of Christ’s coming.
