The Light of Advent Told Through Early Church History
/Advent is a time of reflection, anticipation, and celebration as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. Rooted in the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming" or "arrival," this season invites us to focus on the hope, peace, joy, and love found in Jesus. Traditionally, Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas, with each week centered around a theme represented by the lighting of a candle.
The candles of Advent remind us of key aspects of the Christmas story and the promises fulfilled in Jesus.
Let’s explore the meaning of each candle and how these themes have been brought to life through the stories shared in our Sunday Worship Gatherings.
