Join us for Advent

This Advent, we enter the season with honest hearts—aware of the weariness in our world and in our own lives. Yet Advent also invites us to watch for the light that is already breaking in. With the theme “A Weary World Rejoices,” we gather to listen for God’s promises, to make room for hope, and to rejoice in the coming of Christ who brings peace, justice, and joy. Join us as we wait, pray, and prepare together for the One who renews all things.

Advent Devotions

Advent Devotionals Available
Members of our congregation have shared their gifts by writing this year’s Advent devotionals—reflections rooted in hope, honesty, and the promise of Christ’s coming. You’re invited to pick up a printed copy in the church office and use it throughout the season as a companion for prayer and reflection. May these devotions deepen your Advent journey and connect you with the voices of our own community.
