This year, as we enter the season of Advent, join us to reflect, pray and wait together. For Christians across the world, Advent is a season of waiting to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the long-awaited Saviour promised by God to his people. Waiting can be hard – even when we know what we are waiting for. It is a time for putting our hope in things unseen, and reminding each other of the character and promises of God.
