Community Church ~ Advent Services

Churches across the world are preparing for the Season of Advent ~ the period of time 4 Sundays before Christmas.  Advent means “coming” or “arrival” as we anticipate the fulfillment of the prophesies regarding the promised Messiah and also the awaiting of the 2^nd coming. It is a time of reflection about the amazing gift that God gave us in the person of his Son who came to live among us. It is also an opportunity to honour Jesus in his rightful place as the centre of our busy holiday season. Each Sunday we light a succession of 5 candles in the Advent wreath.  The candles symbolize the light of God coming into the world thru the birth of his Son; the 4 coloured candles, the 4 centuries of waiting between the prophet Malachi and the birth of Christ.  The pure, white, Christ candle is significantly placed in the centre…..just as He should be central in our lives.

This year we are very pleased to have Dan Rutherford, a pastor  in Victoria, minister to our church for the Advent season.  Church will meet for every Sunday except Dec. 9 from now until Christmas.  Church service begins at 10 and everyone is most welcome to attend.
