ADVENT
The season of Advent, and with it a new liturgical year, begins Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024. For Christians, the season of Advent is not simply about the "coming" of a holiday, but more precisely the coming of Jesus Christ. Advent is a season of preparation.
We prepare our hearts for Christ, who "comes" to us in three ways.
1. Historically. Christ came into our world in a time and place many years ago.
2. Presently. Christ comes into our hearts today and every day.
3. Finally. In due time Christ will come again.
Let us take time in this beautiful season to prepare our hearts for Christ, who seeks to be with us always; past, present, and future.
Get Ready For The 12 Days Of Christmas At BK!
Christmas Concert - Mark Your Calendars!
Our Christmas Concert will take place on Thursday, December 12 at 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. at BK, tickets will go on sale on November 25. Watch your emails for more detailed information coming in the next week.
