ADVENT SEASON 

Advent comes from a Latin word meaning "coming" or "arrival" and it is a time of joyful waiting and expectation; a time we affirm our hope in the Lord’s return in the fullness of time as we prepare to commemorate His birth at Christmas. It is also a time for us to reflect on the ways in which we are called to bring the Savior’s love and life to birth in our own lives.

Jesus our King comes to our hearts as the Holy Spirit gives us faith; He comes to us daily as the Spirit strengthens us through Word and Sacrament, guides us and gives us power to live our lives according to His will; and finally, He promise that He will come again in glory to take us home.

In this Advent season, may we be even more encouraged, hopeful, and purposeful, looking with passion for the second Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ.

"A voice of one calling in the desert, prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him. Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill made low. The crooked roads shall become straight, the rough ways smooth. And all mankind will see God's salvation." Luke 3: 3 - 6.
