CHRISTMAS

Begin a new Christmas tradition with ancient roots.

Advent (from the Latin word adventus, meaning “coming”) is a season of expectant waiting for the celebration of Christmas. It symbolizes both the original waiting for the birth of the Messiah as well as the waiting of Christians today for the second coming of Christ. Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before December 25 commencing with the lighting of a candle on an Advent wreath and reading of Scripture—going on each subsequent week until Christmas. The lighting of an advent wreath provides a special time to gather with those you love to refocus on the true meaning of Christmas.

The Story of Christmas Advent Calendar Each day of December leading up to Christmas, children will discover a new mini board book telling the story of the first Christmas.

Each book comes with a loop to hang on your Christmas tree.

I try to open worship up to everything it can be, not just my personal preference, but what can it be for a person sitting in an office, or a mom driving her kids to school, or a teenager in high school. How can I bridge all those generations and try to grab something that can help them worship and communicate with God?”
