The Advent season is

December 1-24

SOLITUDE is different than loneliness. Loneliness can be associated with depression, discouragement, a feeling of "nobody loves me or cares about me." Solitude can be calming, like a stroll in the quiet woods or curling up with a Red Letter Advent devotion in the evening (or morning).

As the busy-ness and excitement of the holidays ramps up, try to make some time as often as possible to be alone with our loving God as possible. Maybe check out Christ the King's page on the YouVersion Bible app HERE>>, and our

featured plan this month, "The Healing Jesus" (a Red Letter reading plan, but not part of the Red Letter Advent series)
