Those Who Dream Advent Daily Devotional & Weekly Zoom Gathering with Pastor Bert

Studying the scriptures for Advent, the opening lines from Psalm 126 jumped off the page: “When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.” What does it look like to live as those who dream? The prophets, the psalmists, John the Baptist, Mary, Elizabeth, Joseph, Simeon, Anna, the shepherds and the Magi—they were all dreamers. They received, discovered, and responded to God’s dreams for the world. In Advent, we step into the mystery and awe of God’s dreams and pray they shape our reality. In this challenging time, the theme of this Advent season is for the dreamers in all of us—those who dream of a deeper connection with God and those who dream of a better world. It is for those who dream of comfort and for those who have given up on their dreams. It is for those whose dreams have been crushed and for those who show us that dreams take time. Join us this Advent as we dream alongside prophets and angels, Mary and the Magi.

Join us as we seek and sow God’s dreams for our world. Join us for online and in person worship experiences with great music and meaningful sermons. Download a free devotional for daily reflection HERE, and join Pastor Bert for a weekly gathering on Zoom, beginning December 3 at noon, for study and reflection. Bring your family to our first ever ‘Spirit of the Season’ event featuring a fun drive-through experience celebrating the joys of Christmas. Make a difference with our ministries, including supporting foster and adoptive families. Our celebration may be different, but nothing can stop us from celebrating the coming of Christ to be with us.
