ADVENT is a season of hope for the new year begun, a season of promise for the great gift to come, a season of assurance that grace will abound and that God will never abandon God’s people. In this time of busy preparation, as our homes are made ready for guests, lists are made, gifts are wrapped, decorations hung, may our hearts be prepared for the life-changing gift of Christ. Take time for prayer and for worship that you may be ready to receive him. The blessings of the season be yours.
