As in year’s past, ECCT is participating in #AdventWord. Each day during Advent, we post the daily #AdventWord on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram feed. We welcome and encourage everyone to join in commenting in response to day’s post with a word, thought, image, poem, prayer, or whatever the Spirit prompts in you each day. Below you will find the comments posted on each day’s word on our Facebook and Instagram feed. We welcome you to read, look, listen, and reflect on our first week walking through Advent together.
