Preparing for ChristmasSample
During Christmas we are invited to reflect on two beautiful dimensions of our faith: the deeply personal and the powerfully communal. Our walk with Jesus begins with a personal decision to follow Him, one that shapes our hearts and guides our lives. But we are not meant to keep this faith to ourselves. God calls us to live it out alongside others, encouraging and welcoming one another as we come together in unity. Especially during this season, as we gather with loved ones and church communities, let’s be intentional in fostering a spirit of harmony and support, reflecting the love and grace we receive from Christ. In doing so, we not only strengthen our own faith but help build a community rooted in God’s love.

About this Plan
This 25-day Advent devotional was created from CornerstoneSF's video devotional series, Rise & Shine. With videos every day except Sundays, this devotional invites us to open our hearts and prepare for the coming of Jesus. It will begin broadly and then focus deeply on Mary’s experience, highlighting how her humility, faith, and openness paved the way for Christ’s birth. Through her example, we are encouraged to cultivate a heart ready to receive the Savior, embracing His love and presence in our lives.
