At this time of year, so many people rush to Christmas in a frenzy of shopping for gifts. But, people of faith have long appreciated Advent as a time of hopeful anticipation.
“Now we can see the beautiful logic of Advent. Where the culture (and my heart, too, if I am honest) celebrates and holds on to the manger and the star, the shepherds and wise men, to Mary and Joseph and the Christ child, the church calls us to look for the return of the King. Advent deepens the tension between what the world was created to be and what it now is, between what God has done and what God will do.” – The Rev. Elizabeth Eaton, A Series of Advent Devotions
Advent begins on November 30 this year. In addition to our regular weekend worship schedule, during the season of Advent, we also offer midweek evening worship on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm. Come early, before worship, to share meals with our guests from Operation Warm Heart, starting at 6:00 pm.
