Every Advent, we light candles. We prepare with pageants and presents. Yet, in the midst of our busy waiting, we know all too well that the world is not as it should be. God’s promises are real, and God’s promised day has not yet come. This tension keeps us yearning—for a new day, a new way, a world made new.

This series focuses on the actions we can take as we move through the night with hope for tomorrow. As we move toward the horizon, we will cry out, start somewhere, speak up, take courage, build up, and choose joy. These actions help us resist despair and put our prayers in motion—trusting that God joins us in the work of Advent.
