But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come.

Mark 13:32–33

We begin our Advent journey this Sunday, marking the four weeks leading up to celebrating the birth of our Savior.

Advent is a time of anticipation and promise and the in-breaking of God’s presence in our world.

We remember the events that surrounded Jesus’ birth, while also holding fast to the promise of his triumphant return.

Christ will come again and reign over all the world, with justice, mercy, and love.

In the season of waiting—because we never know when—we are to keep awake and stay alert.

Join us Sunday as we consider spiritual alertness.
