This series follows the scriptures from the Revised Common Lectionary, Year B. This excerpt from the series synopsis gives you an idea of where this is going: “…sometimes we overlook the greatest gift of all…our very presence. … This season, we are invited to be the gift of presence for our loved ones, for our communities, for those who need it most.” For those who have decided to use “The Gift of Being Present” from the Worship Design Studio for this Advent, we are offering a Zoom gathering to share ideas on how we will use the resources locally. This may be particularly helpful for those not familiar with resources from the Worship Design Studio or those smaller churches who have limited music options or who rent/share worship space.
