Advent and Christmas are special seasons here at St. Andrew's, just as they are in every Christian church and household.

Advent & Christmas Resources
Epiphany Resources
Advent is the season that leads up to Christmas. In Advent, we both prepare for the celebration of Christmas and also reflect on the promised second coming of Jesus Christ. It is a season of devout and joyful expectation.

Christmas recalls the birth of Jesus, a mystery that Christians call the "Incarnation", which means that God became a human being, and lived among us as savior and redeemer.

Epiphany concludes the twelve days of Christmas, and leads into its own short season which centers on the good news of Jesus Christ being revealed to the wider world.
