Advent is a season of both quiet reflection and joyful expectation. This service is intended to be a time of spiritual preparation, as we watch and wait for the coming of the Kingdom of God. The Epiphany choir and congregation will sing hymns and anthems in response to readings shared by members of the wider Seattle community. The service will begin in quiet darkness, and will progress to a fully-lit church, when all sing the favorite Advent hymn: “Lo! He Comes With Clouds Descending” at the conclusion of the service.
