ADVENT
Join us on Saturday, November 23, as we prepare for the Christmas season and decorate our facility to spread the hope and joy that we celebrate!
Starting December 1st
To behold is to look deeply, hold something in view, and be attentive to the depth and detail of what you might not see on the surface. Advent is a season for followers of Jesus to spend in a posture of deep attention: our focus is on the coming of Christ and the coming of Christ’s Kingdom.
Join us this December for an Advent experience like no other.
