Advent

Advent is a time in which we currently live in light of Christ's first coming, the knowledge that all is being made right, and the hope of his final coming. We encourage you to wait with us in prayer, hope, and preparation, and to celebrate with us in joy and anticipation this season.

Advent Resources

Prepare your heart for our coming King this Advent season. Explore our daily prayer guide, digital daily reflections, recommended books, and more to help guide you in prayer and reflection, seeking to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength this season

Daily Prayer Guide

We create this prayer guide every year as a type of scaffolding or trellis to help form and cultivate your life of prayer in this waiting season. Each week of Advent has readings, prayers, and hymns for you to utilize on your own, with family, with friends, or with a formation group. We encourage you to pick a time, either in the morning or evening to practice daily prayer that your heart and mind and soul might prepare Him room this Advent Season. And rejoice greatly in the knowledge that he came once as an infant in stable, will come again in power and might, It is he who is, even now, making all things new, and it is he who enables you to stand clothed in his righteousness on that last judgement day.

Books and Additional Resources

Advent is one of the hardest seasons in the Church calendar to keep. There is busyness all around us at this time of year. We've put together some resources to help. There is a table in the Children's Hall and a section in the bookstore both dedicated to seasonal materials. Start simple. Pick up a new book or a set of Advent candles - one practice to help slow down the days and mark the time of waiting for our King.

Advent Eucharist Services

Join us for three brief Advent worship services with communion, in the Chapel. Childcare is provided each week.

In a busy and frantic time of year, midweek services provide space to pause together to pray, worship, reflect on God's Word, and participate in communion during this Advent season. We encourage you to attend these services as you are able. Christians are "an Advent people" - ever waiting for and ever worshipping our King who has come, is yet to come, and who comes to us even now.
