Advent & Christmas Worship 2020–21
Advent is a time of preparation: preparing for our celebration of Christmas and preparing for the second coming of Jesus. Jesus has come and he is coming again! This Advent Season we will look at our expectation of a better life, our call to proclaim Jesus as Savior and Lord, the joy of our salvation, and the purity that is offered to us through the Babe of Bethlehem.
The season of Christmas, which lasts for 12 days beginning with Christmas Day, is all about celebrating the greatest gift that was ever given: the gift of Jesus, the Son of God, as our Savior and Lord. “Now Is the Time!” for “Leaping and Dancing” to celebrate our deliverance from sin and death.
