Advent is Latin for “coming” or “arrival,” marking the coming or arrival of Christ into our world. And we begin the year preparing for an event that has already happened and an event that is yet to take place. We know that Jesus was born into the world, bringing with him the all the “goodness and light” we need.

We also believe that Jesus will come again to restore and bring love to its full comple on. During the Advent season, we remind ourselves that we are people who live knowing God’s “goodness and light” is already here, and “not yet done.”
