WHAT IS ADVENT
Advent means “arrival” or Coming”, and it’s a season that begins four Sundays prior to Christmas. This Advent season, join us in waiting, reflecting and anticipating as we look back to Jesus’ first coming when He was born as a baby, and we look forward to His second coming when He will return again as King. Prepare your hearts with contemplative reflection and joyful expectation of all that God has done and will do in and through Christ.
