Communion During Advent
The season of Advent is a time of preparation.
One of the dominant themes throughout Advent is preparing for the coming of the Messiah. The word, Advent, itself means coming.
Most of us are pretty good at preparing for the coming season as we decorate our homes, buy Christmas gifts, etc. However, the main question is how do we prepare ourselves for the coming of Jesus spiritually?
One way in which we can prepare ourselves is through receiving Holy Communion—the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
During Advent we will be having the opportunity for people to receive Holy Communion at both services.
