What do wise men, an engaged Nazarene man, his fiance, and shepherds have in common? They all play a part in one of the greatest moments in history - the birth of Jesus. This Advent, we are celebrating the arrival of Jesus by exploring these characters and the hope, peace, love, and joy they represent.

What is Advent? It’s the season when we look back to Christ’s first coming, as a baby born in Bethlehem, and look forward to his second coming when he will return to renew and redeem every part of fallen creation. The advent season is therefore a time to reflect upon the promises of God and to anticipate the fulfillment of those promises. It is a time for remembering and rejoicing.
