Advent at PCPC
Advent is a time for coming to Jesus, to remember that God first came to us in human history through the incarnation of the only Son from the Father, to anticipate the day when Christ will come again. Advent— literally meaning “coming”—is a dwelling place in time to turn our heart’s attention to the God who dwelt among us in human flesh and who will dwell with us in a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:3). We come now on the cusp of Christmas to dwell in the love of God the Father, and the grace of Jesus the Son, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, praying with the prophets before the incarnation and the cross, “O come, O come, Emmanuel” and with the Church on the other side of the empty tomb, “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!”
We invite you to join us either in person or online (pcpc.org/live) Sundays at 8:00 (Chapel), 9:30, or 11:00 a.m.
