'Tis the Season!
Advent & Christmas 2025
Advent is the great season of preparation, that a time to look forward to the coming of Emmanuel, God with us, to proclaim his coming ministry in the line of the prophets of Israel, and, with John the Baptist, to watch for the fulfillment of God’s promises. It is the beginning, the foundation upon which the whole Christian year is built.
