First Sunday of Advent - Hope

Sunday, December 1, 2024
Sunday School at 9:00am
Worship at 10:15am

The First Sunday of Advent marks the beginning of the new Christian year.

Advent is the season of preparing for the coming of Christ in three ways: (1) the First Coming of Christ when he was born of Mary on Christmas Day; (2) the Second Coming of Christ, which will take place at an unexpected hour, when either we encounter him when he returns to earth for the second time, or when our mortal bodies die and we encounter him in the life everlasting; and (3) the daily encounter with Christ, as Christ seeks to be in living relationship in every moment of every day.

We will be celebrating in Holy Communion on this day. For those communing live virtually, you are invited to have your own bread and wine or grape juice for the pastor to bless during the live stream worship service.
