if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chron 7:14, ESV)
This Sunday we began the season during the liturgical year known as Advent. The word Advent means coming. With Christmas a month away this is a time of great anticipation in the church. We, with all of Judea await the one that was foretold by the prophets who would come to us born by a miracle of a virgin, a carpenter’s son, laid in a manger. Also we await Christ’s second coming, that he would come to “judge both the quick and the dead” bringing about his kingdom and redeeming the whole world. We also dwell on Christ Jesus being with us now in our time of waiting, that his is with us and has given us the gift of the Holy Ghost.
This is a very special time during the church’s liturgical year. A time of anticipation, reflection, and prayer. We invite you to join us at St Paul’s Anglican Church as we await the coming of our King.
