Poems of Longing, Songs of Joy

Advent is the beginning of the Western church calendar and an opportunity each year to reflect on both the first coming of Jesus at his incarnation and the second coming of Jesus when He returns to reign in full. We'll be spending Advent 2024 considering the four traditional Advent themes through the Psalms. The Psalms is a collection of poems, songs, and prayers that have led the people of God in how to bring their whole selves to God in worship and prayer and is therefore a perfect guide for reflecting on hope, peace, joy, and love.
