Advent is a coming or arrival, a season marked by hope, reflection, and preparation. We're invited to enter into God’s eternal story, joining with God’s people, past and present, waiting together. Waiting in a world of darkness, yet holding to the promise of Jesus, the Light, who shines in the darkness and cannot be overcome.

In the waiting, we watch.
In the waiting, we prepare.
In the waiting, we rejoice.
And in the waiting, we behold.
