Advent & Christmas 2022
Christmas is the joyful time of the year when we celebrate the birth of Jesus! The season leading up to Christmas is called 'Advent' in some Christian traditions—it's a time when we look forward to celebrating Jesus's arrival.
This year, the theme of our Advent and Christmas services is "Glory in our Midst," emphasizing the ways in which God's glory surrounds, fills, and transforms us. Four Advent Sundays highlight four movements in God's process of revealing his glory to humanity, and this story culminates in the most perfect revelation of Himself in the person of Jesus.
There are many special events and services at Center Church during Advent and Christmas, and we hope that you will join us!
