Waiting for freedom. How can we worship or orient ourselves around God when there is such a felt need for deliverance? The Israelites were waiting for 400 years for the Messiah to come. Mary was one of those people. How can we, like Mary ready ourselves for the coming of the Lord?

Join Kristal Calkins from the IVED Team for a time of reflection and prayer to orient ourselves around God and His purposes in the world.
