PARKDALE ADVENT STUDIES
THE INCARNATION: Advent Bible Study
Jesus’ parents gave him the name Jesus. But the prophets, the shepherds, the Wisemen, and the angels addressed him by other names. They called him Lord, Messiah, Saviour, Emmanuel, Light of the World, and Word Made Flesh.
In Incarnation, we will explore the meaning of these titles and what they tell us about the child whose birth we celebrate at Christmas. Join us as we reflect upon the significance of the Christ-child for our lives and world today!
Every Thursday, November 28-December 19th, from 11:30AM-1:00 PM over zoom.
Email Parkdale office to get the link.
Young Families’ Advent Workshop
December 1st, 5 – 7:30 PM
Join us as we explore the meaning of Advent through stations for the four songs of Christmas. We will have crafts, music, games and stories. Please register by Nov. 26 by RSVP to huda@parkdaleunitedchurch.ca
