This 2nd episode of the Advent Podcast with Rev. Dr. Beth LaRocca-Pitts, Senior Pastor, goes through Week 2 of the Advent Devotional Guide, which takes a look at Peace.

The Advent Podcast will come out each Tuesday in December. Each week one of our pastors will read through a portion of the “Starry Nights” Advent Devotional Guide including scripture, prayers, musings on stars and the night sky, and more.

Advent is a season of waiting, watching, and wonder — A time of renewing our hope, peace, joy, and love, getting ready for the marvel on the way. Journey along together this Advent using the Advent Devotional Guide.
