  • December 24: The traditional Knox Christmas Eve worship service will be available online beginning the morning of December 24. This beautiful service will include music from the Knox Chamber choir, short readings and lessons, and all the other elements of this meaningful Knox tradition.

 

  • Why do we light candles at Advent? From the PC(USA) website: In the ancient world, various peoples lit fires to mark the turning of the light into winter’s season and to pray for the return of the light. The church has Christianized that practice in the lighting of the Advent wreath. To us, these candles are signs of the growing light of Christ who is coming again in all fullness into the darkness of our world. Until the dawning of that Great Day, we watch and wait in Holy Spirit for Christ’s coming into the darkness of our world, lighting candles of hope, peace, joy, and love; and remembering the promises of God with prayer.
