Join us for Celebration worship services, in-person and online, every Sunday at 10 a.m.

Look for the Light

advent-wreath-2This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent and when you arrive at Montclair Presbyterian for Celebration at 10:00 a.m. you will find that we have been visited by angels and poinsettias already!  So even though the season of Advent is a time of preparation for the coming of the Christ child into the world again – it is also a season of joy and beauty made manifest in our sanctuary.

 

We will begin our service with a processional of the Advent wreath and then we will light the first candle – the candle of peace.  The text for the sermon is from the prophet Isaiah 2: 1-5.  This ancient poem imagines a world of peace where “swords are beaten into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.”

 

Take a break from the hustle and bustle and come join us this Sunday and throughout the holiday season.  Happy Advent!
