The word advent means coming. This season focuses on our Saviour who came for us, comes for us, and in coming again for us. For our midweek meditations this year we will use the Advent hymn Once He Came in Blessing (LSB #333) as our theme. Even though this is a very busy time of year with many extra things to do, do not consider this another item on that list, or that you are too busy to come. Rather, use these services as an opportunity to stop the rush, slow down, and spend time focusing on our Saviour and all that He has done for you. It may just be exactly what you need!
