Advent 2020
Schedule | Christmas Eve | Serve
Advent is the church’s annual observance during the four Sundays leading up to Christmas when we remember Christ’s first coming as a baby born into this world. In the Bible, Jesus is also referred to as Immanuel, which means “God with us."
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." — Luke 2:10-11
