Love: Make Room for the Marginalized

Once again we are sharing some Advent resources that you may find helpful throughout this week. Below you will find a breath prayer, a playlist of songs on the themes of love and care for the marginalized, and some Advent guides you may download for free.

Whether you utilize some, all, or none of these resources, we pray that this week you may be filled with the love of Christ, and that you may see the ways in your own life where you have a place in God's kingdom, and places where you can help the marginalized in our society see that there is a place for them in his kingdom as well.

Breath Prayer:

A breath prayer is a form of prayer that involves speaking a word or short phrase while inhaling and exhaling, and is designed to help us focus our thoughts and hearts on the Lord while calming our body through regulating our breathing. 

Inhale: Good news of great joy
Exhale: Do not be afraid
