The Advent season begins this Sunday, November 30. This year, we will spend time in Luke 1–2, studying God's people caught between promise and fulfillment (and perhaps learning how to see our own story there).
When reflecting on the history of redemption, it’s clear that God writes long stories. Those stories are often marked by long chapters of conflict, confusion, darkness, silence, and a lot of waiting. Advent reminds us that the story of Jesus begins not with resolution but with people waiting in the midst of prolonged tension.
Luke 1 opens with God’s people caught between promise and fulfillment. We encounter many characters there who model the honest struggle for faith in seasons of waiting, confusion, and disruption. These portraits of real people—and God’s real responses to them—provide a guide for how we engage with God in the real tensions of life: when we feel the ache, when we don’t have clarity, and when hope feels like a battle.

This season of the church calendar includes the four Sundays before Christmas and ends on Christmas Eve. Advent means “coming” or “arrival” and is a season both for remembering Jesus' first coming at Christmas and also longing for His return. Learn more about why Park Church observes the church calendar here at our liturgy page.
Advent Prayer
Wednesdays, December 3, 10, & 17 • 12–12:45pm • Gallery
Every Advent, we meet during the lunch hour on Wednesdays to sing, pray, and cultivate hunger and longing for Christ. Many also choose to fast lunch or more on these Wednesdays. If fasting is new for you, you can read more about why we practice this discipline here.
Advent Hymn Sing
Tursday, December 11 • 6:30–7:30pm
Each year, we gather as a church family to sing the beloved hymns of Advent and Christmas and read the story together. This tradition helps us prepare and awaken our hearts to the tension and beauty of the season of Advent.
Christmas Eve Services
Wednesday, December 24 • 2:30, 4, & 5:30pm
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…" (From John 1:14 ESV)
On Christmas Eve, we gather to celebrate the breathtaking news that God is with us—right in the midst of our ordinary lives. Jesus came as the Light of the World, shining into our darkest places. Join us for a candlelight service as we sing, remember, and rejoice in the gift of Emmanuel.
Christmas Eve services will be family services, where children will worship together with their families (activity bags will be provided!). Additionally, as with all our services, the Downstairs Event Space will be open with a video feed of the service and space for kids to roam.
