Advent Study – The Waiting Time
The word Advent means “coming” or “arrival”. This is the season when we focus on the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ in his First Coming, and the anticipation of the return of Christ the King in his Second Coming. We look forward as well as looking back.
Learn more about this season by reflecting on the Advent study prepared by The Rev’d Deborah Broome, Diocesan Ministry Educator, for use by individuals or to share in families and small groups.
