Advent
Oftentimes, we think of the Christmas Season as leading up to December 25th, filling our calendars with parties, events, and hurry. And when December 25th is over, Christmas is over. However, in the church, the four weeks leading up to Christmas are known as "Advent".
"Advent" itself means arrival, so in this season leading up to Christmas, we prepare room in our hearts and lives for the arrival of the messiah of the world. This Advent, we will focus on the quiet leading up to Christmas and invite our community to establish practices of stillness and silence by examining the quiet stories in scripture that precede the birth of Jesus, the Messiah.

This week we invite you to read Luke 1:5-25 in preparation for Sunday's message, meditating on the experience of Zechariah being told he will have a child.

Love God. Love People. Love the City.
That is our to-do list at MCC. This is why we are here. We recognize this is easier said than done, especially since we are a community of broken people who need grace every day.
