We are using the first two Sundays of Advent to anticipate the hope of Jesus’s arrival as we memorize our key passage together. This week we will add the second part of Luke 2:30–31, a reminder that Jesus was born to bring salvation to everyone.
For my eyes have seen your salvation.
You have prepared it
in the presence of all peoples.
—Luke 2:30–31

Prayers Alyssa, that is horrible! We are in Fort Myers where Hurricane Ian came through and still recovering, your are in my prayers.
Donna, you are in my prayers, so sorry you lost two close friends in your life. Hugs
To the one that invited neighbors to a party and church first, that is awesome!! I love that. I always say it’s my neighbors I really want to reach, I like the idea of having the party afters and asking to join you before! I hope they take you up on it. I try to put on FB if anyone wants a church to go to for Christmas….but an actual invite in person would probably be better from me! We have lots of widows in our subdivision.
I wanted to share something so special with my friends here because it was such a meaningful thing yesterday at my small group! We shared testimonies (I have been encouraging them to think about it or write it down…the basics; life before Christ, how I came to him, and now!) and wow, they were so vulnerable and open. They didn’t sugar coat the life they were living far from God, but then what seems to be devastation or ashes, or hopelessness turns to a joy and peace, and a thrill to live for the Lord now! So I encourage you all to take time to think about what the Lord has done in your life and where He has brought you from! It can really be used to strengthen and encourage others, believers and not!! Your story matters! Share it sisters!! #SIS (I like that!)
If anybody would like to connect with me on FB I am Rhonda Johnson, Ft. Myers. the profile pic is of me alone in a hat. IG is FMB_Dreamer
My husband and I are from that immediate area! My husband grew up on Ft Myers beach. We’ve been in Montana for close to 7 years now, but we go back to visit family and friends…this last April we were back and could not bring ourselves to go down to the beach where we’d both grown up for our childhood, the devastation was too much to bare. Continued prayers for restoration of that area.
Thank you all for your prayers.❤️
@AlyssaSelby Lifting you,your family,and your community during this time of loss and devastation for you. I am so sorry that you are going through this. I cannot begin to understand or know what you are going thru but we do serve a God that is mightier and bigger than any situation. My heart breaks for you and your family and I pray knowing that God takes care of His people and He will take care of all your needs according to His riches in Glory. Hugs and Love to you sweet Sister. I hope all of you Ladies can feel God’s love and care for each of you this week and always.
Prayers for our family. My husband was laid off last week, and a major tornado hit our town and we’re without power for potentially the next week.
My son lives in Clarksville. He said the wreckage is devastating. Praying for your family and all involved.
I’m so sorry! Praying for you and your family ❤️
Praying for you and all those affected.
Praying for your family
Prayers for you and your family ♥️
Praying for you! Are you near Hendersonville Tennessee?? I heard a tornado hit near there this weekend. If so please reach out to the Life.Church there and I know they would love to be there to support you and your family. I go to the one in options but I know the lead Pastor Joel there and he is amazing.
@Tara B, Mandi, Donna W, anyone else with a need – The Lord bless you and be Your light and shield in this time. May He give you strength and courage to do His will. May He give you His presence and comfort. His peace be with you ❤️
@Adrienne- TY. I posted Friday afternoon saying how I was processing some stuff with the Lord this week, but reading along silently. Glad to know you appreciate my voice, though :) ❤️
Thank you Foster Mama!❤️
I just reread my comment – I definitely should have done that before hitting post! Hopefully you can ascertain the meaning of the sentence about the concert- yikes!
Great job @ MANDI, stepping out of your comfort zone to do something so beautiful. Praying it goes well.
