During this Advent season, we invite you to prepare your heart to receive the joy of Christ. Our reminder from John the Baptist to “Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths,” is also an invitation to create room in our hearts to receive the presence of Christ at Christmas.
At All Saints, we are offering many opportunities this Advent season for you to rekindle your spiritual life through upcoming liturgies and special events, including:
