Advent 1 – On the Road to Restoration

As I think about the theme of restoration, I remember when I realized early on in my cabinet career that restoration was not for me.  I tried to restore a Deacon’s bench for a customer and discovered it was too tedious for me.

Read Psalm 80 and wonder with me how God wants to restore us during Advent.

Jubilee’s Youth Group meets for Bible Study and fellowship in the Bowers' back yard.

Due to Covid-19, MS Food Network is unable to offer as many groceries for our food pantry. Please help us continue providing for our neighbors, especially this holiday season. If you can help, please bring dry goods to Jubilee (e.g. canned vegetables and fruit, rice, pasta, canned soups, etc...) You may place them in the tubs in the back of the sanctuary. Thank you for your generosity! 
 

Jubilee’s Food Pantry needs your empty grocery bags.
