The long-awaited season of Advent is upon us once again, and this season we are focusing on the theme “A Thrill of Hope”. In a world that often feels full of darkness, the coming of Christ reminds us that the light can shine in even the darkest of places.

As a community of faith we make space to watch for God together, to serve our neighbors, and to settle our hearts and minds to hear from God in fresh ways this Christmas. We invite you to prayerfully consider what God is inviting you to do and be a part of this Advent. There will be time enough for running, rushing, worrying and pushing this season. But when we intentionally make space to listen to God and respond to God’s call to follow, we are transformed in ways that matter far beyond this Advent season.

Together, we will watch for the coming of Christ once again, and we will make room in our lives to follow God’s lead in serving the world. We look forward to sharing this season with you!

Peace, love, hope and joy to you and yours,

Rev. Danielle Jones and Rev. Steve Wiens
