Some of the best conversations start with good questions — questions that keep us curious and lead us deeper into courage and connection.

This quest for connection inspired us to create our "I've been meaning to ask..." series a few years ago. One of our favorite resources in that series are the conversation cards — like the one in this picture. 💬

These conversation cards are designed to help you tell your story, share your pain, care for one another, and dream about a new way forward.

"We cry out as an act of faith that you hear every prayer
We pray for peace, that hate would cease, for freedom everywhere
O God, you are the potter and we the potter’s clay
Mold us to be your hands and feet until your dawning day"

— from the hymn "Restore Us, God" by Rev. Anna Strickland, featured in our "Until the Dawn" Advent 2026 series 🎶

Until the Dawn: Actions for the Work of Advent 🌟

Our 2026 Advent series focuses on the actions we can take as we move through the night with hope for tomorrow.

As we journey toward the horizon, we will cry out, start somewhere, speak up, take courage, build up, and choose joy. These actions will help us resist despair and put our prayers in motion.

Until the day when God’s love reigns and all the earth echoes shalom, let us keep moving, singing, resisting, and rejoicing—trusting that God joins us in the work of Advent.
