Daily Email
When you sign up you will receive a daily meditation from AdventWord, authored by the extended connections of Virginia Theological Seminary, an Episcopal community. At 5am every morning you will get a message in your email inbox, with a meditation and a word and picture. After reading the meditation, we’d love for you to find or snap a picture that reflects the theme or your response to it and post it to Instagram and other social media.
Each email will have an unsubscribe button so you can unsubscribe at anytime. Virginia Theological Seminary will not release your email to any other entity. Thank you for praying with us.

The Way of Love is a way of life. More than a program or curriculum, it is an intentional commitment to a set of practices. It’s a commitment to follow Jesus: Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go, Rest.
