Experience the Joy and Meaning of Advent at Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani
Welcome to Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, a vibrant community of faith and beliefs. We are excited to invite you to join us for the first Sunday of Advent on December 3rd, 2017. This special occasion marks the beginning of the Advent season, a time of anticipation and reflection leading up to the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
What is Advent?
Advent, derived from the Latin word "Adventus", meaning "coming," is a time of preparation and waiting for the coming of Jesus. It symbolizes the hope, joy, love, and peace that Jesus brought into the world. Advent lasts for four weeks, with each Sunday representing a different theme.
The Four Themes of Advent
During each week of Advent, we focus on a particular theme that helps us understand the significance of Jesus' birth:
- Hope: The first Sunday represents hope, as we eagerly anticipate the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah.
- Joy: The second Sunday signifies joy, as we rejoice in the promise of salvation that Jesus brings.
- Love: The third Sunday celebrates love, highlighting the unconditional love of God for humanity through the gift of His Son.
- Peace: The fourth and final Sunday symbolizes peace, as we embrace the peace that Jesus brings to our hearts and the world.
