I've been asked by another, different family member (Penny) who survived breast cancer 21 years ago but has had it return this week to post a prayer request here. Penny is a woman of faith who believes in the power of prayer in a big way. Thus this request. Please pray for wisdom, comfort and competent physicians. Thank you.

This intergenerational devotional is a daily experience where you will be able to prepare your heart for the arrival of Jesus through reading, prayer, reflection and action. Set aside a time daily to engage in this practice, on your own or alongside some family or friends. 

If you are a young family reach out to Jenn Surtees to get a copy of our Advent Tree and stamps that go along with this devotional to help engage our kids minds and bodies.
