The Season of Advent is one of the highlights of the Christian Year as we countdown the days to the celebration of Christ’s birth on Christmas day. With this season, we launch another cycle of living into the story of Jesus and the church that emerges. Join us as we hear the “old familiar” songs and stories that invite us–as they have for generations past–into a deeper faith.
This Advent season, you’re invited to consider the Preparations and the Passion of Advent so that we might embrace the Presence and Promise of the Christ who is born among us. Join us as we gather for worship. Come! Let us adore him, together.
