Three Advents

Dec. 1-24, 2024

The season of Advent is a time of anticipation and waiting. Advent comes from the Latin “adventus” which means “coming” or “arrival.” In Advent, we wait for the birth of the Christ child. Yet theologians talk about three advents: the birth of Jesus at Christmas, the arrival of the Holy Spirit, and the second coming of Jesus. We will explore these three advents even as we wait to celebrate the baby born in Bethlehem.
