Nativity Reading

Join Our Psalms Reading Journey to the Nativity

As we prepare our hearts for the Nativity of Christ, we invite you to participate in a special Psalms reading plan. Our guide, titled "Psalms to the Nativity," leads us through the Book of Psalms with designated rest days for reflection.

 

Let’s come together as a community to deepen our faith and celebrate the season with the wisdom and solace of the Psalms.

May this journey enrich our faith and bring peace to all.
