Advent hope is beautiful—but it’s also messy. It’s the radiant glow of light on the horizon, but it’s also the ache of waiting, the weight of “not yet.” It’s the tension between the promise of what could be and the pain of what isn’t.

Advent doesn’t shy away from this tension. Instead, it calls us to hold on anyway. To risk hoping for a world transformed, for a love that doesn’t let go, for a God who shows up—not just in a manger, but in the mess of life right now.

Join us as we explore what it means to hope boldly, even in the face of uncertainty. How Advent hope is not passive optimism but an active, transformative force. Together, let’s discover how hope anchors us, even when we’re “just hanging on.” What are you hoping for? And how might Advent reshape your answer?
