The season of Advent is one of expectation, hope, and joy! It is our counter-cultural opportunity to slow down and consider God's great love gift of Jesus Christ. On the first Sunday in Advent, we will think together about waiting expectantly. Our communion chant for the season encourages us: Wait for the Lord, whose day is near. Wait for the Lord, be strong, take heart.
