God Draws Near — Advent 2022

The word Advent is derived from the Latin word Adventus, meaning ‘arrival’.  It is a season of the liturgical year observed in many Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting for and focusing on God’s arrival.  It culminates in the celebration of Christmas.

God draws near to humanity in three historical moments: when God the Son was born in the flesh in Bethlehem; when God’s Holy Spirit comes to live inside believers; and when the Lord one day returns in glory.  

Each week’s Advent service will be accompanied by the lighting of a candle to help us ponder the Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace that Christ brings.  Then, on Christmas Day, we will light the final candle and contemplate on Jesus’ birth.

As we seek 2walk2gether as a church, may we experience anew a God who draws near and walks together with us.
