Advent Starts on December 1

November 19, 2024 Leave a Comment

Sunday, December 1, 2024 is the First Sunday of Advent.

Advent is a four-week season dedicated to reflective preparation for the arrival, “advent”, of Jesus’ birth at Christmas time as well and Christ’s expected return in the Second Coming. During this important season in the church calendar, each week of Advent focuses on a different theme – hope, peace, joy, and love. 

Please join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 9 AM.

NOTE: On this day, the church will also start using Year C of the Revised Common Lectionary. You can see more information about the Lectionary by clicking HERE.
