糖心Vlog's dean of students, who has given leadership to worship across MCUSA, shares an Advent season meditation: 聽It鈥檚 the beginning of December, and our priorities are pulled in countless directions. And this year, our minds are full of worry, our bodies still adjusting to premature darkness, and our hearts or ones we know well are holding grief very close. This season between Thanksgiving and Christmas holds the breadth of the holidays in both the commercial and the liturgical sense.
