Advent celebrates the incarnation, the arrival of Jesus in our world. It’s a season waiting, of anticipation of something (or someone) greater. Of course, celebrate Christmas day but there is much more to celebrate in the days leading up to Jesus’ birth. So, take time to celebrate God in the process. He is at work.
The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way” — “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’ ” —Mark 1: 1-3
Join us as we wait in expectation of the arrival of Jesus starting Sunday, December 1 through Christmas Eve, December 24.
