Advent Season Approaches

Dear Beloved in Christ

Greetings.

As we approach the Advent Season, a time of reflection and anticipation, we are reminded of the profound significance of this period in the Christian Calendar. Advent, derived from the Latin word "adventus," meaning "coming" or "arrival," is a season of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

During Advent, we immerse ourselves in the dual themes of reflection on the humble birth of our Savior in a Manger because there was no room in the Inn, and the anticipation of His promised return. This Advent Season is a time to pause, to contemplate, and to realign our hearts with the profound love and grace that Christ brought into the world.

As we embark on this Advent journey together, we invite you to engage in a season of meaningful reflection. In the spirit of renewal and deeper connection, we would like to share that some changes will be made to our liturgy. These adjustments are designed to enhance our collective worship experience and foster a deeper sense of communion with the timeless message of hope, love, joy, and peace that Advent heralds.

May this season of Advent be a time of spiritual awakening and transformation for us all. Together, let us embrace the sacred moments of anticipation, preparing our hearts for the arrival and the celebration of the birth of Jesus, the Christ.

Your Priest and Friend
