Summary: Throughout the four weeks of Advent, as we journey toward Christmas, we’ll visit the Mountain, the River, the Desert, and the Manger. Each of these key stops along the journey to Bethlehem represents the spiritual geographies that prepare us for the coming of the Messiah. We’ll visit the Mountain of peace, where swords are hammered into ploughshares, and spears into pruning hooks; then we’ll head to the River of repentance and forgiveness, where our hearts are changed; then to the Desert of emptiness, where we experience spiritual longing; and finally to the Manger, where we meet God’s promise in the shape and form of an helpless infant. Join us for the Journey, and be transformed along the way!
