The Witness of Waiting
Advent at St. John the Divine
Anticipating the coming of Christ
The word Advent means “coming”. Christians observe the season of Advent as a time to prepare our hearts in anticipation of Jesus’ second coming by reflecting on the fulfillment of God’s promise to his people in the birth of Jesus, the first Christmas.
In a season that is often busy and overwhelming, we invite you to join us in anticipation of the coming of Christ and the birth of salvation.
