A Season of Reflection & Celebration

December 4, 2024 | Written by Tiah Ciganek

Our Advent Season Has Begun!

The Advent Adore season is a cherished time of preparation and worship as we anticipate the birth of Christ. As we gather with our church family in the weeks leading up to Christmas, we want to reflect on the hope, peace, and joy that Advent brings. During this season, we encourage you to pause and truly savor the beauty around you: take in the sight of snow shining on the mountains, listen to the birds sing in the early morning, let the crisp air kiss your face, and take a deep, refreshing breath. Christmas isn’t about presents—it’s about being present with your family, friends, and community and appreciating the day you are living in.

This year’s Advent season also offers opportunities to support our ministry partners locally and globally through our Kingdom Come Christmas Offering. You can also show Christ’s love by helping a neighbor, preparing a meal for someone in need, or volunteering your time with a ministry you care about. We hope you find joy in the small acts of kindness and love that make this season special.

We invite you and your family and friends to join us for Christmas Eve services at 3:00 PM and 4:30 PM. These special gatherings will feature music, candlelight, and reflections on the love and hope Christ brings into the world.

As we journey through Advent, let us embody Christ’s teachings through acts of love and kindness. This sacred season is a time for spiritual renewal and an invitation to share the light of Christ with those around us.

Merry Christmas to all!
