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.

In this busy season, step into a moment of rest and renewal. Our midweek worship offers a simple, peaceful space to breathe, pray, and reconnect with God and community. Come as you are—whether you need quiet, hope, or a centering pause in the middle of your week. All are welcome.

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.
