ADVENT . . .
is a time for waiting and preparing, a time for making our hearts, our homes and our world ready for the coming of Christ at Christmas.
It is a time of love . . .
demonstrating love ourselves and receiving expressions of love from others.
It is a time of hope . . .
thinking about what kind of world we hope for, and how we can help to bring it about.
It is a time of joy . . .
being with family and friends, finding concrete ways to make our joy real through music, dance, and creative activities.
It is a time to pray for peace . . .
thinking about those places in our homes, neighbourhoods, and the world where we so desperately need the Prince of Peace.
