ADVENT

Advent is a season to prepare for the coming of Christ: the promised coming of the Messiah to the Jews, the coming of Jesus being born in Bethlehem, the promised return of the risen Christ in final victory, and the continual coming of Christ into the lives and hearts of believers. Beginning the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, Advent marks the beginning of a new church year. We hope you will join us during this holy season.
