Advent Season

Advent is the beginning of the Christian year—a four-week journey of remembering, waiting, and expecting. It draws us back into the story of a world longing for light and into the hope that God steps toward us in Jesus.

Across these weeks we move through the themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love, each one revealing a different facet of God’s heart and the unfolding story of redemption. Advent invites us to slow down, pay attention, and recognize the tension we all live in: the “already and not yet” of God’s Kingdom.

We look back to the first coming of Christ—born in humility, entering our world of darkness and need—and we look forward to His promised return when all things will be made whole. Between those two arrivals, Advent teaches us how to wait well, how to let longing shape us, and how to see God at work in the middle of our unfinished stories.
