While the excitement of Christmas captures many of us, the season becomes even richer when we take time to prepare our hearts. That's what Advent is: a season of waiting, of anticipation. A time to remember that the Jesus who came 2,000 years ago has promised to come again. In many ways, what you receive from Christmas depends on how you journey through Advent. We invite you to pause with us each Sunday of Advent. Let's prepare our hearts together for the joy, peace, and hope that Christmas brings.
