The Faith Formation Center has decided to take a different approach to an Advent Devotional for 2019. We decided to give our wonderful writers, artists and publication coordinators a break for this year and have ordered “Straw for the Manger” from Presbyterian Church USA. The focus of the devotional is “caring for the least of these” and provides each day of Advent a Scripture excerpt, meditation and prayer to deepen the season’s experience. Devotionals are available Sunday in the Gathering Place. Will Ridley, 314-821-8524, Email: ridleywp@att.net.
