ADVENT
The Advent season marks the beginning of the church year. It begins the 4th Sunday before Christmas and culminates in the celebration of the birth of Christ. The celebration of Advent is not a biblical mandate nor does it have a Scriptural precedent, yet it has a rich tradition in the Christian Church as a season of reflection upon the life, death, resurrection and future return of our Lord Jesus. This season, like all others, has worship of God as its purpose.
Hope, Peace, Joy, Love
The Advent season is filled with meaningful symbolism. We celebrate each week by the lighting of the Advent wreath. For each of the four weeks there will be four corresponding candles on the wreath. Three of the candles are purple; the royal color of our King, and one of the candles is rose‑colored. Each candle represents a biblical theme.

This Advent season will follow the themes of hope, peace, joy and love. In the center of the wreath will be a fifth candle, the Christ candle, which we will light on Christmas Eve to mark the Messiah’s arrival.

ALL ARE WELCOMED
Please call or email the church if you would like to talk to someone.
We love to hear from you. 845-454-2704
