Advent Meditations
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday starting November 30 through December 24
Get a little Advent inspiration in your inbox!
Slow down and make space for reflection this Advent. Beginning November 30, you’ll receive a short meditation by email every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, featuring a written reflection and audio recording from RPC pastors and congregants.
This year’s writers were invited to reflect on someone whose life, faith, kindness, courage, or presence helped them see and experience the light of Christ.
Let these reflections guide your heart and mind as we prepare to celebrate the hope, peace, joy, and love of Christmas.
Participated in past years? You’re all set! Advent reflections will continue arriving in your inbox automatically.
