Advent is a time of expectation and hope. The music, twinkling lights, traditions, all revolve around one thing: the birth of Jesus. His messages of hope, peace, true joy, and love permeate the weeks of Advent. Why? Why do we feel different during this season? Perhaps, just perhaps it is because we know His coming changes everything!
As we gather for our Advent retreat this year, we will focus on both the darkness around us, and the Light within us. With the Advent wreath as a background for learning and discovering, we will move from darkness to light, and how, with the lighting of the Christ candle, we will acknowledge we find ourselves living in-between the two greatest events the world has seen or will ever see.
It will be a time of both looking back and looking forward, while not forgetting where we are now in our faith and daily lives. Even in the Light, there is room for what has gone before that lies hidden in our hearts. To that we sing, “O come, O come, Emmanuel!”

What to Expect at Online Prayer Services
- 7:00 Worship music for about 15-20 minutes
- Scripture Reflection for about 20 minutes which will include a suggestion for a prayer focus
- Small prayer groups in breakout rooms with about 5 participants, including a facilitator, per room for about 40 minutes. Participants may share a prayer need and/or pray blessings* for others but there is no pressure to do either.
- There is a format for the small group prayer time which will look very much like this:
→ Facilitator opens up with a prayer
→ Everyone spends some quiet time listening to the Holy Spirit
→ Anyone may share a prayer need (no pressure to do so)
→ Everyone may have a turn of praying blessings* for that person (no pressure to do so)
→ Another time of listening to the Holy Spirit and then sharing and blessing until everyone who wants to has had an opportunity to share and receive blessings.
The service ends at 8:30, but anyone who would like to can stay and share or listen to participants testify of what the Lord did for them during the small prayer group time.
*Praying blessings is simply saying something like, “In the name of Jesus, I bless you…” with what you believe the Holy Spirit is telling you that God wants for that person.
Many people receive from the Lord all that they came seeking through the prayers in the small groups. However, If you would like individual prayer ministry via Zoom, we recommend (OSL) Online Prayer Center at https://onlinecenterforhealingprayer.com/.
