“Then the veil of cloud apart was rent, And here was born a Child
The ancient dome of heaven sheer
Was pricked with distant light;
A star came shining white and clear
Alone above the night.
In the dale of dark in that hour of birth
One voice on a sudden sang:
Then all the bells in Heaven and Earth
Together at midnight rang.”
2025 Advent Sundays
The end of the Bible in Revelation 21-22 tells us of the beautiful New Creation that is to come. But how does the birth of Jesus relate to that? Well just as the season of the First Advent is a time of waiting for the birth of Jesus, so too is the Second Advent a time of waiting for the New Creation, the second coming of Jesus. What will this New Creation be like?
Dec 7 (10:30am) — Who will we be?
Dec 14 (10:30am) — What will we do?
Dec 21 (10:30am) — Why will we be there?
Advent Meditations for you from “Practicing the Way”
For Advent this year we encourage you to download the link below from “Practicing the Way” and follow along with their weekly readings. As they say,
“Each week’s reading includes conversation prompts for your community, a few curated resources for deeper reflection, and an optional practice that you may wish to incorporate in your life beyond Advent. May the Spirit be with you as you prepare for the King and celebrate the gift of his coming.”
