A Season of Hope and Anticipation:
Advent Themes in the Four Gospels
December 3 - December 24 | 9:30 a.m. | Small Dining Room
Advent is the period in the Christian year when we think about God coming into the world as a human being in the person of Jesus of Nazareth. This study will attempt to raise challenging questions about Jesus’ origins and will explore what the Gospel portrayals of Jesus’ beginnings say about the Son of God and his meaning for the early church and for us today.
