Often considered just a time for shopping for presents, putting up decorations, sending cards, enjoying parties and singing carols, the Advent season is so much more. Advent is the four-week period of expectant waiting, hopeful anticipation and joyful preparation of Jesus’ birth. It is a time to:
- remember Jesus coming into the world over 2000 years ago
- prepare for Jesus to come into our hearts and lives today
- wait for Jesus to come again.
