You are invited to celebrate Advent this year with those who told the story first. Beginning Tuesday, November 26th at 10am in the Narthex, this four-week study, written by one of our favorite authors, Magrey R. DeVega, invites us to delve deeper into our spiritual journey of Advent.
For more information, contact Pastor Kristen.
To sign up for the class, either you contact Pastor Kristen or let Diane in the the Church Office know at (708) 672-8353. or email: office@creteumc.org
Author, Magrey deVega invites you to hear about the miracle of Christ’s birth from those who first told the story. The letters in the New Testament, known as the Epistles, contain the first attempts by the church to understand and celebrate the mystery of the Incarnation. They point us to the origins of what we believe about Jesus, fully human and fully divine. By spending time with these holy, ancient words this Advent, you’ll come to know the meaning of Christ’s coming like never before.
