Advent Study

Pastor Jason will be leading an Advent study titled “Holy Disruption.” Holy Disruption presents a fresh understanding of the holiness of Christmas grounded, not in a conventional cozy Christmas message, but through Mark's disquieting gospel which invites its readers to experience God's disruptive but transformative love for us and our world.
The group will meet on Thursdays during Advent, starting on December 1st at 7 PM. If you are interested, please notify Pastor Jason or the church office of your preference for meeting in person or over zoom. You can pick up a free copy of the book in the Church Office (suggested donation is $10) or access a free eBook through Hoopla, a digital public library resource. If you have any questions, reach out to Pastor Jason (pastorjason@fpcedgewood.org).
