The season of Advent is all about hope and expectation. And “Hope” seems to be a very appropriate focus for December 2020! So this year, we are coupling an Advent Devotional Practice with a weekly opportunity to share insights and questions, all on the theme “Practicing Hope with All Your Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind.”

The Advent Devotional Guide can be downloaded free at: https://tinyurl.com/PracticingHope2020. OR, you can have the daily reflections sent directly to your inbox; the link to do so is found here: https://www.livingcompass.org/advent. Each day’s reflection will also be posted to our Good Shepherd 24/7 Coffee Hour Facebook Group — comments and conversation will be welcome. And, then, on the four Sundays of Advent (beginning 11/29), we will join together at the Faith Forum time for more guided conversation.
