The Word became Flesh and dwelt among us.
This is no small thing.
It’s worth slowing down and meditating on.
to slow down and meditate on the coming of Christ.
We follow a calendar that forms and shapes our lives individually and in community around the life and ministry of Jesus. The first season on our calendar is called Advent.
The word Advent means “coming.” During Advent, we prepare for the coming of the One who was born that first Christmas in a stable. We prepare for the One who saved us from sin, death and the power of the devil: our Lord Jesus Christ!
We take the 4 weeks leading up to Christmas to prepare our hearts and minds for the wonder of Jesus being born.
Meal + Community
Because Advent is a season of waiting and anticipation, one of the ways we practice that is our “World-Famous” CrockPotLuck.
If Christ Lutheran in Boulder City is not yet your home, we invite you to join us for dinner on Wednesdays at 6 pm. Don’t feel obligated to bring anything. We will have plenty! Come be our guest!
After having dinner together, we have a brief service with some singing, some Scripture readings, and a short devotional message. These services are another opportunity to set time aside to pause and reflect on just how important the coming of Christ is.
This year’s theme at Christ Lutheran Church in Boulder City is “Every Heart Prepare.” We do so much to prepare for Christmas. One way we prepare is by decorating our homes, yards, and churches with evergreens, lights, nativity scene ornaments, and presents. Each Wednesday service and Christmas morning we will reflect upon these common Christmas decorations and how they help us see Christ and prepare for His coming.
