Advent: The Season of Anticipation and Hope!
**********************************************************************

The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival." The focus of the entire season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ in his First Advent, and the anticipation of the return of Christ the King in his Second Advent.

The spirit of Advent is expressed well in the parable of the bridesmaids who are anxiously awaiting the coming of the Bridegroom (Matt 25:1-13).

There is profound joy at the Bridegroom’s expected coming. And yet a warning of the need for preparation echoes through the parable.

Advent Dates for 2014

November 30 - First Sunday of Advent
December 7 - Second Sunday of Advent
December 14 - Third Sunday of Advent
December 21 - Fourth Sunday of Advent 

More than any other activity, Advent can restore Jesus to the center of the Christmas celebration, because on each Advent day the birth of Jesus is read, sung and talked about. The whole family can participate and find the observance meaningful and the memories and training will last a lifetime. 

Although the common tenets of observing Advent are shared by many churches, each family can add its own flavor.
