The Christmas season can quickly get crowded out by the noise and busyness of consumerism if we aren’t careful. To anchor Christmas to its true meaning, many families include traditions such as lighting Advent candles. Advent is a time of anticipation between Thanksgiving and Christmas, leading up to the celebration of Jesus's birth. Each candle represents something different—love, hope, joy, and peace. Whether you participate in Advent or not, there is beauty in reflecting upon how Jesus delivers these virtues to the world and our lives.  We invite you and your family to join us this Christmas.
