Advent is a unique season on the church calendar dedicated to the hopeful anticipation of the arrival of Jesus. We celebrate the longings fulfilled at the birth of Christ and the remaining anticipation for Jesus' return.

We live in the space between "already" and "not yet." Jesus, the promised savior has come, just as he promised, and yet we live in a world that is still broken. Weariness can weigh us down but the hope we have in God lifts our spirits to rejoice in the one who came and will come again.

I encourage you to step away from the busyness and distractions of this season to join us in rejoicing in our Savior, Jesus Christ.
