Advent at Greenmonte - Fourth Sunday - Love
This Sunday, December 19th is the fourth Sunday of Advent - the last Sunday before Christmas. Advent is the season when we prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ child at Christmas, while also anticipating the time when Jesus will come again.

For this week, we invite you to reflect on the theme of Love. For background on the concept of Love in Scripture, the Bible Project has a helpful Advent reflection on Love.

For the four Sundays of Advent, we will be reflecting on the themes of Hope (November 28th), Peace (December 5th), Joy (December 12th), and Love (December 19th).
