Advent Series – O Come, O Come, Immanuel

Advent

Celebrating the Season of Advent

Advent marks the season just before Christmas when Christians prepare for the birth of Jesus, and with sweet anticipation, we sing O Come, O Come, Immanuel. Webster defines Advent first as the period beginning four Sundays before Christmas and observed by some Christians as a season of prayer and fasting. And second, as the coming of Christ at the Incarnation.

 Please join me as we celebrate together Hope, Peace, Joy, Love, and finally on Christmas Day, we celebrate Jesus.
