More Than Just a Calendar

Don’t get us wrong, Advent reflections, especially the long, thoughtful ones are great.

It’s harder still to steal a few moments for 28 consecutive days. Enter the 2021 Sardis Advent Calendar. It’s both virtual and physical.

CROSS OF MANY COLORS

CROSS OF MANY COLORS For the next seven weeks, as you drive by Sardis Road, we hope you’ll notice our very special Lenten cross. Every few days, our cross will be adorned with a new strip of fabric, not the standard purple you see in most years. You’ll notice a transition from darker colors to lighter colors. We’re putting a focus on finding life in as many places as we can, and we hope the changing colors will remind you of God’s presence in every season. The coloring of our cross is......
