Advent Sunday School
Magnifying the Light
A Video Series Led by Nat Scott

• When: Sundays throughout Advent
• Time: 9:30AM
• Where: Upper Room

No Books Needed

​DESCRIPTION:
​Together we magnify the Light that comes again and again, that comes to inform, warm, and show truth. It’s that time of year when we remind one another that God is dwelling among us, and God’s not going anywhere that we aren’t. God is transmitted eye to eye, hand to hand, word to ear, food to mouth. 

Moving towards God means making heart space for everyday holiness. It means being willing to grow, bear and birth God’s movements of grace and caring into the world. 

This five session Advent film series includes discussion guide and films with Becca Stevens, James Alison, Kelly Brown Douglas, Emilie Townes, and Diana Butler and a discussion/prayer practice guide written by Danielle Fanfair.

​BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Fifty-two readings to spark weekly group discussion on putting Jesus’ most central teachings into practice.

Jesus’ most famous teaching, the Sermon on the Mount, possesses an irresistible quality. Who hasn’t felt stirred and unsettled after reading these words, which get to the root of the human condition?

This follow-up to the acclaimed collection Called to Community: The Life Jesus Wants for His People taps an even broader array of sources, bringing together prophetic voices from every era and a range of traditions to consider the repercussions of these essential words.

More than a commentary or devotional, this book is designed to be read together with others, to inspire communities of faith to discuss what it might look like to put Jesus’ teachings into practice today.
