I can remember back in 1994 when, for the first time, a family asked the question “Will you be holding services on Christmas since it falls on a Sunday?” When I assured them we would be gathering for worship, their response was “O good! We’ll be there!”

The word "Advent" is a Latin word meaning "coming" or "arrival." During the Advent season (about four weeks leading up to Christmas Day), Christians worldwide prepare to celebrate the coming of God into our world through the birth of his Son, Jesus Christ.
