"Day and night without ceasing they sing, “Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God the Almighty, who was and is and is to come.”
Revelation 4:8b
(NRSV)
This year, as we prepare to gather with our gifts around the manger, we acknowledge that heavenly hosts join us gathered around the throne, and together we sing with one voice: He is Holy, and He is Worthy, Christ has come, and Christ will come again.
Celebrate Advent with us again this year and invite your community to experience the baby in the manger who now reigns as King and calls us to follow him in his example of love and service.
Following our overwhelming response to the 2023 Children’s coloring book, 2024, CBO resources will include a Children’s activity experience and a Litany to receive the offering as a congregation to further engage your community in the worship of baby and King in the service of building a better world together
