Greetings and Happy Advent!
As we enter this season of Advent, we join generations of believers in the ancient practice of waiting—watching for the coming of Christ with expectant hearts. Advent invites us to slow down in a season that often rushes us forward, to light candles in the darkness, and to prepare room in our hearts for the One who comes not as we expect, but as we need. We are called to prepare the way of the Lord—not by perfecting ourselves, but by turning to God and opening ourselves to be surprised by His grace.
This Advent, we invite you to journey with us as we explore what it means to welcome Jesus afresh. Whether you find yourself in a place of hope or doubt, certainty or questions, abundance or need—there is room for you here. The God we prepare to celebrate is the one who raises children from stones, who brings shoots from stumps, who turns hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. Come and see what God is doing. Come and be surprised by the Kingdom that looks like healing, welcome, and good news for all who need it. Come, let us adore Him!
Wishing you and yours a blessed Advent!,
The Rev. Kiona Lookingbill
