Advent Study Group 2025

When: Thursdays at 7:00pm via Zoom
Dates: November 6 (in-person optional), November 20, December 4, December 11, and December 18
Led by: Nancy Goddard

This Advent, you are invited to join a 5-session study group exploring On the Way to Bethlehem: An Advent Study by United Methodist Pastor Rob Fuquay.

About the Study

Fuquay’s book invites us to walk alongside Mary, Joseph, and others on the journey to Jesus’ birth. Together, we will explore the geographical and political realities of the time—what it meant to live under Roman occupation, how ordinary people encountered God’s promises, and how the journey to Bethlehem was as much about hope and faith as it was about place and power.

As we follow this story, we’ll reflect on how Advent is not only about preparing our hearts for Christ’s birth, but also about preparing the world for Christ’s justice and peace. We’ll ask: What does it mean to live as disciples who carry the light of Bethlehem into today’s struggles and longings?
