Season of Advent
This Sunday starts the great season of Advent, where the church prepares to celebrate Christ’s Nativity, when we recall Christ’s first coming. As we remember so also, we look forward in faith to his Second Coming at the end of time. Advent is a period of joyful hope.
Please do all you can to create a space in your lives at this time, so that when Christmas comes upon us, we can enter fully into the mystery of the incarnation.
