The Sundays of Advent | December 3-24, 2023

Greetings, Second Episcopal District Church Family!

 

 

 

Arelis and I are blessed and thankful beyond measure to greet you this Advent Season--a season of celebration and anticipation.

The Season of Advent brings hope and signs of God’s presence among us, even in a world darkened by pandemics of seismic proportions such as wars and political strife, global disease epidemics, and social and climate injustices, to name a few. We can rest in the assurance that Christ has come and will come again. The prophet Isaiah more than 2,000 years ago, announced the fulfillment of prophecy, and that prophecy is just as reassuring today as we enter the 2023 Advent Season. During this Advent Season, we look with expectancy and anticipation to what God has already promised.

Immanuel, ”God with us,” is present in every aspect of our lives. He’s with us during our to-do- lists and rushes. He’s with us in songs of praise and worship that echo in our minds and come from our lips. He’s with us as we engage in ritual and lighting of the Advent candles. He’s with us on a card that we received from a friend. He’s with us through all the shopping, gift-giving, and receiving. Whatever we do are sign of God’s presence with us. 

Also, we can feel the excitement in the air as individuals, families, and churches prepare to celebrate the Christmas season. A particularly important part of this celebration is Advent. It is the season of the year leading up to Christmas. The word “Advent” is derived from the Latin word adventus, meaning “coming,” “arrival,” “appearing,” or “presence.” Continue Reading
