WhAT IS Advent?

Advent is the first season in the church calendar, celebrated during the four Sundays leading up to December 25. Advent is a time of anticipation waiting for Christ’s return and the fulfillment of his kingdom. During Advent, we take time to reflect on the love, joy, peace, and hope that comes with the present of God. We remember the birth of Jesus Emmanuel, “God with us” and hope in his promised return. We acknowledge that we live in a broken world and eagerly await for all things to be made new.
