Advent comes from a Latin word that means "coming." Biblical people waited with anticipation for the Messiah to come over 2,000 years ago. Then they celebrated the birth of Jesus when He came to earth for the first time. Today, Christians wait for and prepare for His Second Coming even though no one knows when that will be. There is a theme for each of the four weeks of Advent, and they remain the same each year. This is the list of how most churches will celebrate Advent in 2022. Week 1 - Sunday, November 27: Hope; Week 2 - Sunday, December 4: Peace; Week 3 - Sunday, December 11: Joy; Week 4 - Sunday, December 18: Love
