Introduction
The word advent comes from a Latin word which means coming. The Advent season is the four weeks leading up to Christmas Day during which Christ’s followers set aside time to prepare for and look forward to the coming of Christ. It is a time to focus and reflect on the meaning and purpose of Jesus’ birth.
We invite you to join in this year’s Advent Reflections and trust your Christmas day will be enriched because of your participation.
We will begin each week lighting the Advent candle during the Sunday service and will continue with reflections Monday – Friday on the theme of each candle.
Our focus is on receiving God’s gifts to us and practicing giving those gifts to others.
These reflections have been designed so they can be done individually, with family or friends. Each day take a few seconds to quiet your mind and heart before you begin. Feel free to journal your thoughts, prayers and things the Lord is showing you this Advent.
