Exodus, Leviticus, and Hebrews Study Begins Tomorrow!
Exodus, Leviticus, and Hebrews form a powerful triad for understanding God's covenantal relationship with His people. Exodus recounts God's deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt, revealing His identity as a redeemer and establishing the foundation of His covenant through the giving of the Law and the construction of the Tabernacle, where His presence dwells among His people. Leviticus expands on this by detailing the sacrificial system and laws for holiness, emphasizing how a holy God invites His people to worship and live in purity. Hebrews, in the New Testament, illuminates these Old Testament texts by showing how Jesus fulfills the Law and the sacrificial system as the ultimate High Priest and perfect sacrifice, opening a new and living way for believers to enter God's presence. Studying these books together deepens our understanding of redemption, covenant, and the continuity of God’s plan of salvation, culminating in Christ.

APA Advent Devotional
The Deanery of Appalachia has completed a wonderful 2024 Advent Devotional.
From the Prologue: “Meditations in this devotional have been contributed by clergy, deaconesses and others who work diligently for the Kingdom of God in the Anglican Province of America. Their works follow the passages appointed in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer lectionary for Morning and Evening Offices and are meant to enhance your rule of life for the next weeks. As this devotional is presented by the Appalachian Deanery, let me express our hope that the season of Advent will prove to be a time of honest and meaningful preparation for the Feast of the Incarnation. I pray that when we all finally sing ‘the Lord is come,’ that it will be a feast of true joy and peace to each one of you, and in the grandest way ‘joy to the world’ indeed." -Fr. Paul Rivard, Dean of Appalachia, Rector of Saint George the Martyr, Simpsonville, SC
Parishioners of St. Paul’s might also recognize the author of the Thursday, December 5th entry!
