Advent 2025
Love Came Down Resources
Three minute reflective video now available.
At Christmas, love came down in the person of Jesus Christ.
This was not just a feeling or an idea – it was love made visible.
It was hope, born in human form.
As we journey through Advent, we are inviting corps to notice the divine breaking into the everyday. To see glimpses of God’s story unfolding in quiet corners and unexpected places.
Over four weeks, we will explore what it means to encounter love in motion – love that reaches out, wraps around, stands with us, and always shows up.
Because the love that came down at Christmas is still changing lives…
