Lighting of Advent Candles
Advent is the season in the Christmas calendar that celebrates the four Sundays before Christmas. In Latin, Advent means “coming,” and it is time to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas, the coming of Jesus into our world.
Today, we light the candle of hope.
Hope is a light to show the way. Hope is constantly calling us forward to create a better tomorrow.
Call To Worship
Philippians 4:4-7
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
