Advent is a time of waiting, and a season of preparing for Christmas. First Baptist Church of Athens Georgia offers devotions prepared by our members to bring you daily inspiration during Advent. The devotion begins with the music of Greensleeves, played on flutes by Sarah DelBene, followed by a reading from a daily carol, then a personal reflection on the question, “What brings you hope this Advent and Christmas season? The carol reading today is verse 1 from People Look East, read by Matthew Baxley; the personal reflection is from Elizabeth Eidson.
