Advent

Join us for Advent from November through December for activities, classes, and more.

The Advent and Christmas season is full of anticipation–waiting for the arrival, or ‘advent’ of Jesus, the long-awaited Messiah. It’s also a time of reflection–in our personal lives, with our families, and as we examine our faith.

The traditional themes of hope, peace, joy, and love guide our path to walk through this season with compassion and kindness for ourselves and for each other.

Join us in the many ways we will connect–whether in joy or with the sadness that this time can bring–and build community with one another and our neighbors throughout this season.

It’s Advent at St. Andrew.
