“‘Do not be afraid.’ It’s the most frequently repeated message in scripture. Some say it appears 365 times, to be exact… but even if the actual math is not quite that convenient, some variation of ‘fear not’ really does come up more than three hundred times in the Bible…. Clearly faith cannot thrive when fear is in charge.” (From Calling All Angels: An Advent Study of Fearlessness and Strength, the guiding devotional for this year’s Advent Connection Groups.)

Joining a Connection Group is a chance to go deeper in faith, practice, and community during a holy and hectic season. If you’ve been wanting a way to grow in your faith or connect with MCC folks in new ways, this is your chance!

There are seven groups this season, at various times on Sundays and Thursdays. Sign up at middletonucc.org/register
