WHO WE AREFIND A CHURCH

Bishop Hughes and baby

This Advent, take time to just sit in the presence of God

God is always trying to talk to us, says Bishop Hughes, but often we are moving so fast that we don’t catch the message. This Advent, she suggests that we make a practice of setting aside 10 t0 15 minutes to just sit in God’s presence. (Time: 4:55.)
