Advent 2026:
What a Friend We Have in Jesus

Wednesdays at 11:00 am ET - December 9 & 16

During this difficult time of year for many, join an encouraging community of spiritual support to draw our focus on the the hope we have in Emmanuel - God with us.

Join us for a 2 part Advent series, led by Cristabelle Braden. This study will remind us of the compassionate heart of Jesus, drawing on Philippians 4:4-7 and the lyrics from the 1855 hymn What a Friend We Have In Jesus. You will be emailed study materials, and join an uplifting group on zoom where you’re welcome to simply listen (camera on or off) or participate via video.

Open to anyone navigating brain injury - individuals, couples, and families. You are not alone!

Philippians 4:4-7 (NIV)

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

What a Friend We Have in Jesus

words by Joseph Medlicott Scriven, 1855

What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!

Can’t Attend? Stay Tuned!
