The church year began again on Sunday, November 28 with the season of Advent.

The word “advent” comes from a latin word that means “coming” or “arrival.” Advent is a season celebrated by the church throughout the years on the four Sundays prior to Christmas. The focus of the church during the Advent season is Christ’s threefold coming – past, present, and future. First, we remember the Lord’s humble first coming in Bethlehem two thousand years ago. This is what we celebrate on Christmas. Second, we give thanks for His present and continual coming to us through His Word and the sacrament of communion. Finally, we look forward with hope and patience to His victorious second coming as Judge and King at the end of time.

Make plans to join us this Advent as we celebrate our Heavenly Father’s wonderful gift to the world of His only-begotten Son, sent to renew all of creation from the curse of sin and death.
