| Celebration of LIfe Memorial Service for Brother Lewis P, Hassell, Jr. Sunday, December 2 at 1:15PM following morning worship and fellowship |
The word ADVENT means coming or arrival and it is a celebration of
the appearance of God among us in the form of a tiny baby born in a
lowly stable in Bethlehem. It is also a time of preparation in
anticipation of His coming again. Each Sunday of Advent, we light
candles in our Advent wreath to symbolize centuries of darkness as
the world awaited the birth of the Messiah. The greenery of the
wreath symbolizes God's gift of life. The Circle of the wreath
symbolizes God's eternity, without beginning or end. The three
purple candles represent Hope, Peace, and Joy. The pink candle
represents Love. On the last Sunday of Advent, we also light a
single white candle to represent the Light of the World, Our Savior,
Jesus Christ Who was born to us on the first Christmas morning.
