Advent 2014

Keeping the Season with Redeemer

The Advent Season begins November 30th. Like Lent, Advent is a time of special preparation. Christians often take on a spiritual discipline, or enter a time of fasting. You may begin prayerfully considering what God may be calling you to do this Advent.

Special financial gifts to churches and charities are often given during Advent. A disproportionate amount of giving to our church comes during this time. You may consider making a gift to Redeemer and/or other charities.

As a church, our liturgy changes on Sundays. We concentrate more on repentance and preparation for the Lord's coming. We also offer an Advent program on Wednesday night. Check the calendar on the right for specifics.
