WHY ADVENT? As Jesus-followers we occupy two worlds:
-
We live our lives in a hustling, busy world with its schedule and routine for work, school, family, activities, and social responsibilities. But we are also part of a different world.
-
Historically, the Church has its own calendar, celebrations and traditions that are like a parallel universe existing alongside life in this world.
When we take the time to step into this world, we join eternity and God’s Kingdom, experiencing rest, refreshing, peace and hope in this different rhythm.
We’ve set up some Advent experiences to participate in over the next 4 weeks of Advent (Dec 3-24)…
1. ‘ADVENT REFLECTIONS’
Monday Nights 7:30-8:30 pm (Dec 4, 11, 18) at City Life Church
We want to create a space to seek God, pray & worship, with lots of open space to be quietly in God’s presence, reflect and prepare our hearts to encounter Jesus afresh in this Christmas season.
