The Beginning of Advent

This past Sunday marked the beginning of Advent.

Our family is participating by reading advent devotionals together as a family as 
we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ and his triumphant return.  

The first Sunday's candle, the candle of Hope, commemorates the prophets 
who renew our faith and remind us of what God wants us to be.  
"The people who walked in the darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness - on them light has shined... For a child has been born to us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."  Isaiah 9:2,6
