Advent heralds in the church's New Year. This year it begins on Sunday, December 3. 

Advent is a season to prepare for Christmas when Christ's first coming is remembered. We know that the first coming of Jesus at Bethlehem will not happen again, so during Advent, we prepare and long for a new coming of Jesus into our lives. We take this time every year to practice how to receive Jesus every day of our lives! We remember the call of Jesus to his followers to make our world a peaceful and loving place, and so, during Advent, we make special efforts to be signs that God is with us. This is what the word 'Emmanuel' means - God is with us.

The beautiful custom of the Advent wreath focuses on the theme of light coming into darkness.  The first week, a candle is lit in anticipation of the coming of Christ.  As each week passes, another candle is lit, until four candles are burning brightly just before Christmas.
