Last Sunday we welcomed in the Advent Season… The “Pew” blog, to be published tomorrow, I will share with you some thoughts about this Christian season of preparing for the birth of Christ. Please join us in the “Pew”. Some early thoughts…

Four Themes of Advent

  • Hope: The first theme of advent is hope. …
  • Peace: The second week of advent focuses on peace. …
  • Love: In week three, we celebrate love. …
  • Joy: The theme of the last week of advent is joy — how fitting is that!

 These themes of Advent are represented by the Advent Wreath’s candles.   

 The four candles of the Advent wreath specifically symbolize the Christian concepts of hope, peace, joy and love, with these candles being lit subsequently throughout each week of the Advent season.
