ADVENT
What Is Advent and Why Do We Celebrate It?
Advent is a four-week preparatory season leading up to Christmas. It encourages us to wait and to prepare. Our goal is to more greatly appreciate the astonishing humility of the Incarnation of the Son of God – and anticipate His coming again in power and glory.
The Bible does not tell us to observe Advent, but it has been a part of the historical church’s calendar for a long time, calling us to prepare the way for the Lord. The City Church Elders believe that observing Advent helps us combat many distractions of the holiday season. We have prepared an Advent Guide that offer you, your friends, or your family a way to participate. We trust you will find the journey rewarding.
