Advent Wreath Workshop

Join us on November 16th for an Advent Wreath Workshop.  Please sign up by November 9th using the sheet found in the fellowship hall.

Advent is a season of preparation for the birth of Jesus Christ and a time to also anticipate his Second Coming. It's a period of hopeful waiting, reflecting on past promises and future hope, and preparing hearts for Christ's arrival through prayer, reflection, and traditions like lighting candles on an Advent wreath.  

The four meanings of Advent are hope, peace, joy, and love, which are also the names of the four candles lit on an Advent wreath over the four Sundays before Christmas. These themes are central to the Advent season, which is a time of spiritual preparation for the arrival of Christ.  

Hope: Represents the anticipation of Christ's coming and the first candle lit on the Advent wreath.  

Peace: Symbolizes the preparation for Jesus' birth and is the theme for the second week.  

Joy: Focuses on the joy of the upcoming Christmas celebration and is the theme for the third week.

Love: Represents the ultimate virtue of love, which is embodied in Jesus' birth, and is the theme for the final week of Advent.
