Advent marks the beginning of the church year as we anticipate the coming of Christ! It is a season of hope, peace, joy, and love, beginning on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day. It is also a season of preparation and togetherness. Join us in ringing in the Christian “New Year” on Sunday, December 1 at “Messy Advent” from 9:30-10:15 a.m. in Great Hall. Featuring meaningful crafts, festive treats, and service activities for all ages, this especially seasonal Messy Church hopes to help your family and our church community receive and rejoice in what is truly the most wonderful time of the year.
