Appalachian Advent: "What Do You Fear? Insisting on hope this Advent."
We know the start of Advent can be one of the busiest times of the year. It is so easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle and lose sight of the greatest gift of love made known in the incarnation. Join us as we celebrate this incarnational theology of love rooted in hope and prepare your heart for the coming of Christ!
