What is Advent?
A Season of preparation & longing…
Over the course of the four weeks of Advent we lean into a posture of openness and expectation - both for the annual celebration of the Nativity (Christmas) and the second coming of Jesus. This is a season in which we prepare our hearts for the fullness of God’s presence and remind ourselves of the fact that we live in the mercy of God.
