Advent is a season that looks forward to the Second Coming (Second Advent) of Christ while also looking back to the time before Christ was born, to those who longed for his First Coming (First Advent). Join us as we rediscover the Season of Joyful Waiting. The Sacrament of the Eucharist (Holy Communion) will be celebrated on the First Sunday of Advent (December 1) and the Third Sunday of Advent, which is called Gaudete (Rejoice) Sunday (December 15). The children of UPC will present a selection of seasonal music during the worship service on the Fourth Sunday of Advent (December 22).
