First Baptist Church of Athens, Georgia offers devotions for Advent prepared by our members. The devotion begins with the music of Greensleeves, played on flutes by Sarah DelBene, followed by a reading from a daily carol, then a personal reflection on the question, “What brings you hope this Advent and Christmas season? The carol reading today is verse 1 & 2 from Gentle Mary Laid Her Child, read by Lena Marston; the personal reflection is from Oscar Gertsch.
