Advent Book Study

  • Flemington Presbyterian Church 10 E. Main St. Flemington, NJ 08822 (map)

Will you carve out just 10 minutes each day to be intentionally mindful of Christ’s coming this Advent season?

Enrich your Advent experience by adding the daily spiritual practice of contemplation and prayer. Each of you is invited to join a group of us using a tiny but powerful devotional book, “Low: An Honest Advent Devotional” by John Pavlovitz.

From the back cover: “Let’s be honest about Advent: We often feel pressured to have it all together and to hide our struggles, to pretend we’re merry when we’re frustrated and stressed and exhausted. In this honest Advent devotional, progressive Christian leader and author John Pavlovitz reminds us that God came to meet us in the low places of our lives. These daily devotions speak to the breadth of our journeys: the joy and the grieving, the celebration and the suffering, the belief and the doubt, the good tidings and the bad days.”

We have 25 copies available for purchase in the church office for $6 each, or you may order one of your own online. And then let’s meet in person on Sunday mornings (Dec 4, 11, 18) after worship and fellowship in the Fellowship Hall library for 30 minutes to discuss what we’ve read throughout the week and how it connects to our lives. Ages 13 and up, youth and adults welcome!
