Join Us On Sundays for Our Special Advent Services

Advent is a meaningful and joyous season in the Christian liturgical calendar that marks the anticipation of the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas. Beginning on the fourth Sunday before Christmas and lasting until Christmas Eve, Advent is a time of preparation, reflection, and hopeful expectation.

The word "Advent" comes from the Latin term "adventus," meaning "coming" or "arrival." During this period, Christians around the world prepare their hearts and minds for the joyous arrival of Christ. Advent encourages us to reflect on the significance of Jesus’ birth, as well as His promised return.

Traditionally, Advent is celebrated with the use of an Advent wreath, which features four candles—three purple and one pink—representing hope, peace, joy, and love. Each Sunday during Advent, a candle is lit, with the pink candle typically lit on the third Sunday, known as Gaudete Sunday, symbolizing joy.

At our church, we invite you to join us in this sacred season of waiting and preparation. Together, we will celebrate Christ’s birth and anticipate His return.
