Welcome - Advent
It is a period of spiritual renewal
while we await the anniversary of the birth of Jesus.

we are invited to reflect on the meaning of the coming of Jesus
in to our world.
A time to ask ourselves
how is Jesus born in to our lives
each day
The period of reflection can help
us discover some of the
Hope, Peace, Love and Joy
symbolizes by the candle on the Advent wreath
Making us ready to truly
celebrate Christmas.
