Advent: I bring you good news!
One night, angels from the realms of glory descended to earth to share news of a savior. The angels chose to deliver this extraordinary news not to mighty rulers but to ordinary shepherds in their fields. Their message: “I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” The news these shepherds received is the same news that still brings hope and joy to us today. Come celebrate the good news with us this season of Advent.
