In these past few weeks, each service has started by lighting the advent candle(s). We cel
ebrate advent as a reminder of the birth of our Saviour, Jesus, 2000 years ago in Bethlehem. We also light them as a reminder of our own waiting for Jesus' second coming.
Nothing warms up the soul like a little quiz to start the service off. :)
