An Advent Hallow Mission | Prepare the Way: Make Room for the King

What if one invitation could change someone’s life?

This Advent, join us for ENCOUNTER, a special Hallow Advent Mission inspired by the Visitation of Mary and Elizabeth. Just as Mary brought the presence of Christ to Elizabeth, we too are called to bring Jesus to others through faith, friendship, and a simple invitation.

In the busyness of life, it’s easy to lose sight of what matters most. Advent invites us to slow down, open our hearts, and make room for the King who longs to dwell among us.

Through worship, uplifting music, and meaningful reflection, we’ll prepare our hearts to encounter Christ and rediscover the joy of belonging to a faith-filled community.

No matter where you are on your faith journey, you belong here. Whether you’re deeply rooted in your faith, searching for something more, or simply curious, this evening is for you.

And don’t come alone! Think of someone who needs hope, friendship, or an encounter with God’s love. Be like Mary. Step out in faith, extend an invitation, and bring Christ to someone who needs Him.

A social reception will follow.

This special Advent Mission also marks the beginning of ENCOUNTER, a new Saints Simon and Jude tradition held on the first Thursday of every month, bringing people together for worship, music, reflection on topics that matter most, and authentic community.

Encounter Jesus. Find Community. You Belong at SSJ.
