ADVENT

December 1–24, 2024

What is Advent?

Advent is a season of remembrance and waiting during the season leading up to Christmas Eve. The word advent comes from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival.” As believers in Jesus, we live between the two advents of Christ – his first coming into this world to save us from our sins, and his future coming as the triumphant King of kings at the end of history.

This year our Advent theme is “Peace”

In a world that often feels overwhelmed with anxiety, we reflect on the profound peace that entered our world that first Christmas night. Many of us have health challenges, financial pressures, concerns about our children’s futures, and uncertainties about our country or the world at large. You're not alone in these feelings of anxiety, and that's why this Christmas season, we're exploring how Jesus, our Prince of Peace, meets us in our anxious moments.

We'll discover together how His peace transcends our circumstances, how we can embrace it more fully, and why this peace is different from anything the world offers.

Please join us each Sunday in December as we gather to seek the peace of Jesus together through worship and teaching. Whether you're feeling steady or struggling, know that you are welcome here. In community, we'll explore God's promises of peace – not just for a moment, but for eternity.

May the God of peace draw you close this Advent season.
