As winter blankets the world in its lack of warmth and light, the color GREEN becomes a beacon of hope and renewal. Whether in the steadfast leaves of evergreens or the faint buds of new growth, green reminds us of God's promise of life even in the darkest seasons. Even when we fail to sense forgiveness, goodness, or salvation, God assures us of His abiding presence and the life we find in Him through Jesus Christ. Resting in the promise of God's grace and abundant life, we journey together through this Advent season.
