Isaiah 9:2 (NIV)
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.


Advent November 30 - December 25

Advent is a time set aside for reflection on the coming of the Savior. Marked by a spirit of expectation and hope, the four weeks leading up to the celebration of Christmas call Christians to focus on the joy of Christ's birth.
