Advent Calendars

This past Sunday we began the season of Advent at Roswell Presbyterian Church. The season of Advent is so important because the birth of Jesus didn't just happen randomly! God always knew this was going to happen. God had always planned that Mary and Joseph would be Jesus’ parents, that he would be born in a stable in Bethlehem, and he would be the savior for all people. It is an amazing story and by far the most important story ever told. This is why we spend an entire month preparing and anxiously waiting to celebrate Jesus’ birthday on Christmas day.

Counting down the days and weeks until Christmas is one way that we build our anticipation and excitement for Jesus’ birthday. In Advent Family Sunday School families created their own Advent calendars to take home and use for the next 26 days in expectation of Christmas.

If you were not able to join us this past Sunday but would still like an Advent calendar packet for your family, please be in touch with Sarah Kate or come by the Church Office during office hours.
