Advent, the season of anticipating and celebrating Jesus’ birth, provides many
        opportunities to prepare heart and home to welcome the Christ Child. Scripture tells us
        that his arrival was not an accident, but an event destined to convey reconciliation by a
        loving God for his creation. In Galatians 4:4, Paul writes that, “when the time had fully
        come, God sent his Son…,” a  fulfillment of  prophecy and expectation  that  had been
        anticipated for centuries. You are invited to walk through the preparations described in
        the Scriptures below as once again we welcome Immanuel, God with us.
