Advent
As we near Christmas, we find ourselves continuing to hold on to hope even as we live in such unsettling times. For many of us, our daily lives still feel like they are in a state of disruption. As darkness descends earlier each day, so grows our longing for light. We hold onto hope knowing that scripture was fulfilled in the Promised One—the Light of the World—Jesus.
We are pleased to provide you with the following links to various Advent and Christmas resources.
