Open to Explore Devotions

First Baptist Church of Athens and Open to Explore Devotions will be bringing a new series of Advent Devotions for 2023. These daily podcast devotions will begin on Monday, December 4th.  The focus for our 2023 devotions is the impact that music has on our experience of the Advent and Christmas season. In these podcasts you will hear about music which is special to our story tellers. May it also bring you joy, and inspiration. The devotion includes a daily scripture taken from the traditional scriptures of prophecy and proclamation for the Advent and Christmas season.
