Advent

A Season of Hope, Preparation, and Joy

Advent is the four-week season leading up to Christmas. The word Advent means “coming” or “arrival.”

During Advent, we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ and look forward with hope to His promised return.

What do we Remember during Advent?

Hope — God promised a Savior, and He kept His promise.

Peace — Jesus came to bring peace and reconciliation with God.

Joy — We celebrate the good news that Jesus has come.

Love — God showed His great love for us by sending His Son.

Advent reminds us to slow down, make room for Jesus, and remember what Christmas is truly about.

Jesus is with us.
Jesus will come again.
