Elizabeth River Baptist Church Invites the Community to the “God With Us” Advent Series

Everyone in the community is invited to attend Elizabeth River Baptist Church for a four-week series based on the Advent themes of Hope, Love, Joy and Peace called God With Us, at 11:00 starting Sunday, December 1, 2024.

A remarkable thing happened that first Christmas, just as Isaiah had prophesied 700 years earlier – Jesus was born as Immanuel – which means “God with us!” Elizabeth River Baptist Church  believes Christmas can still truly give us a taste of the most wonderful time of world history. The true light came into the darkness and stress and pain of the world—our world. Miraculously, we continue in God’s story of love everyday as he promises to be with us always.

In a season often marked by frenzied busyness, Advent is an opportunity to set aside time to prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. The relevant messages in this series are designed to help us place our focus on the greatest gift ever given – and to experience his presence in our lives today.

With cookies and cocoa served during our breakfast (9:30 am Sunday mornings), lighting of the Advent wreath, and a free God With Us devotional book for visitors, this series is the perfect opportunity for families throughout the community to come together to celebrate this special season.

Reverse Advent Calendar

A reverse advent calendar is the opposite of a normal advent calendar. With a normal advent calendar, you open a door each day to see a picture, take out a chocolate or get some other prize. With a reverse advent calendar, you begin with an empty box. Every day for 24 days, you add one item a day. After 24 days when the box is full, you bring it with you to church on Christmas Eve. Elizabeth River Baptist Church “Little Church Pantry” will appreciate your advent donations as we reach out and ministry to the needs of others in our community.

About this Project

Chesapeake VA is a construction-based project. These projects specialize in serving a community by meeting a physical need. Groups most often serve by working on someone’s home through work like painting, handicap ramps, and more. Students are equipped and encouraged to build relationships with homeowners and community members in hopes of sharing the gospel. All programming like a speaker and worship, in addition to food and lodging, are covered in the registration fee.

 

 
 
 

 

 

FELLOWSHIP

The Bible advises us to continue in fellowship with other believers. There is a reason for that! It edifies is, keeps us accountable, makes us more transparent and unplugs us from our secluded self-centered lives. We learn to share, invite-in, commune and interact with other believers. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

GENEROSITY

We are givers at heart and we model that in our lives. We do not believe in creating a mega church with lots of beautiful buildings and facilities. Rather, we believe in giving back. A healthy community is ripe to hear God’s Word. We invite our members to give to any of our community programs on a regular basis. 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

GROWTH

If you attend Living Waters and there is no spiritual growth in your life, then we did something wrong. That is why it is very important to us that you take away real life application not just spiritually, but for your family, finances and all areas of your life. God is our source of joy, and our deliverer.
