Season of Advent
Anticipation of a Savior
Nov 30th – December 24th
Jesus Christ has come and will come again. This is the hope of the Church whom He purchased with His blood. It is the eager expectation and desire of His people.
Advent, formed from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival,” is about the coming of Christ. It’s the
traditional celebration of the first advent of Jesus and the anxious awaiting of His second. The season is a time for remembering, watching and waiting. Its a time to reflect upon the promises of God and to anticipate the fulfillment of those promises with patience, prayer and preparedness.¹
