Christmas is near, friends. Our greens are hung and have been blessed. We’ve gathered each week of Advent to light the candles on our Advent wreath and prayerfully considered their meaning. We (and our choir) have sung beloved carols and other seasonal music. But even if we had skipped all of that, the miracle of Christmas would arrive just the same. I hope you will join us this morning for the last Sunday of Advent, and again at either 5pm or 9pm on Christmas Eve.

Accept God’s Invitation to a Peaceful Advent

Accept God’s Invitation to a Peaceful Advent

Advent is a time of preparation for the birth of Jesus. It can be a deeply meaningful, holy season if we allow space for reflection and time with God.

But Advent can be complicated. Some are grieving the loss of past holiday joy. Others are feeling guilty about their crowded calendar and not having enough time for the “real reason for the season.”

Sometimes we are so blinded by the glitter and cooing babies of Christmas that we can lose sight of why God came to us in the first place. There is one carol that explicitly focuses on the conditions Jesus came to earth to address, rather than on the event of his birth. Look carefully at the verses—both the ones we have and the one that was removed.

Sometimes we are so blinded by the glitter and cooing babies of Christmas that we can lose sight of why God came to us in the first place. There is one carol that explicitly focuses on the conditions Jesus came to earth to address, rather than on the event of his birth. We’ll sing it Sunday and look carefully at the verses—both the ones we have and the one that was removed. We hope you’ll join us!

If you can’t join us in person, perhaps you’d like to view our livestream. Every Sunday our service is streamed live on our YouTube channel and Facebook page, which you can watch live or at your convenience!
