What Is Advent?
Advent, celebrated by believers around the world during the four weeks leading up to Christmas, is the season in which we remember Christ’s coming and anticipate His return. Each week, a special candle is lit representing one of the themes of the season.
Week 1: Hope
Week 2: Peace
Week 3: Love
Week 4: Joy
Then, on Christmas Eve, we light a white candle representing Christ Himself.

You can also participate in Advent with us daily by reading John Piper's excellent devotional, Good News of Great Joy. You can download the book for free or purchase a hardcopy here.
