EVENTS AND CALENDAR
Y
​
Join in Our Annual Events our yearly events which are organized around the events of the life of Jesus in keeping with the early Christian pattern of liturgical calendar which was organized around the events of the life of Jesus. This pattern helps us against reckoning our time and inoculates us against organizing our time by worldly standards and cultures around us. It helps keeps our focus where it should be, on Jesus Christ by going through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus and the gift of the Spirit every year after year.

Advent - 21 Days Glory
This is the period before Christmas. Advent means “coming,” and it commemorates and remembers the coming of Jesus, the coming of the Son of God as our redeemer. During this period, we prepare for the birth of Jesus Christ and reflect on the various ways in which God comes to us again and again through the course of history and we take a moment to dwel on the final coming of Jesus, when he will come to judge the living and the dead.
