Where Everyone is Loved, Where Everyone Belongs

Advent is a season of the Christian Year that, in our tradition, comprises the last four Sundays before Christmas and is a season of anticipation and hope. During this part of the year, we remove the Christ Candle from the sanctuary, to signify that we are waiting for God’s Gift of a Messiah–both the gift that came to ancient Israel on the first Christmas Day more than 2,000 years ago, and the gift that will come to the world in the future, when Christ returns and ushers in a new creation of love, belonging, and abundance. This year, Advent begins on November 29th. Please join us for this special season–as we look forward to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and to the future God is creating in us.
