Someone has probably told you at some point, “Be patient!” That’s easier said than done, especially with all of the hustle and bustle surrounding the Christmas season. We all want to grow in patience, but how do we do it?

Advent, the four weeks leading up to Christmas, is a season that asks us to “be patient.” In this week’s sermon, we learn that Advent is also a time of preparation. We want to be people preparing our hearts and minds, not only to celebrate Christmas and the birth of Christ, but also to prepare ourselves for what God wants to do in our lives in the coming year.

Advent is a season to (re)turn to God and to others.
