Way of Love Curriculum for Advent
For the season of Advent, Journeying the Way of Love offers four sessions to be explored as we await the coming of Christ by moving through the first two chapters of the Gospel of Luke.

Presiding Bishop's New Book
The Power of Love
In The Power of Love (in bookstores now), Presiding Bishop Michael Curry shares five of his favorite sermons on love and social justice that all exemplify one unified message, a message that we at the church value deeply, that “There’s power in love to help and heal when nothing else can. There’s power in love to lift up and liberate when nothing else will. There’s power in love to show us the way to live.”
#PowerOfLove
What moment will you always remember as one where you saw the power of love firsthand? Many have likely happened with the people you sit next to each week, or perhaps it was the birth of a child, or witnessing a first responder or volunteer offer relief after a natural disaster.

Whatever it is, we would like you to share it. It can be a text post, a photo, a video, anything, just be sure to include #poweroflove . Post on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Snapchat, or any platform that you use and love.

By spreading this message of love, inclusiveness, and togetherness, we can, in the words of Bishop Curry, “change lives, and change this world.”
