“Come, Lord Jesus, light of the world.”

This Sunday marks the beginning of Advent—a season of hope, expectation, and preparation. As we light the first candle, the Candle of Hope, we are reminded that even in the midst of darkness, God’s promise shines brightly. Advent invites us to pause, reflect, and prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, both in the celebration of His birth and in the anticipation of His return.

​

Let us journey together in faith, watching and waiting with joyful expectation. May this season renew our spirits, strengthen our community, and draw us closer to the One who is our true light.

​

Prayer for the Week:
Lord, as we begin this Advent season, open our hearts to Your presence. Fill us with hope that sustains, light that guides, and love that transforms. Amen.
