In this devotion, Elizabeth Schoenknecht ’04 M.Div., writes that, in a world full of distractions, Advent is a time to quiet those distractions and listen closely for the pure voice of God.
Read today’s God Pause.

We gather at 11:00 a.m. CT in the OCC Dining Room for Lunch Church.
Topic: Call Stories, Bold Yeses, and Advent Wonder
Speaker: Jen Gruendler, Associate Director for Enrollment Services
Come explore the several call stories and various bold yeses found in the birth narratives of Jesus and wonder how they might intersect with your own senses of call. Let us immerse ourselves in Advent wonder, good news of great joy, and hope for the weary and afraid. Lunch is provided.
Share your prayer requests.
