What is Advent?

Advent (“adventus” in Latin means “coming” or “arrival”). It is the 4 Sundays (and weekdays) leading up to Christmas.

Advent invites us to reflect on the love of God for us by sending His Son Jesus Christ into this world for us. It is also a time of intentional prayers, reading the Scriptures and waiting for Jesus’ promised return to establish God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.

The four candles of the Advent wreath symbolise: Hope (purple), Peace (purple), Joy (pink) , and Love (purple).

The fifth candle, symbolises Jesus Christ, will be lit on Christmas Day.

May we experience the hope, peace, joy and love of God this Advent season. 🙏🏼

A prayer for those affected by the devastating fire in Tai Po, Hong Kong:

Gracious God,
You are our help in ages past and our hope for years to come. In the midst of fires, floods, or natural disasters, we trust in Your steadfast love.

Comfort those who have lost homes or loved ones and those who are yet to know the whereabouts of their family members. Fill them with Your peace and comfort their weary hearts with Your gentle presence.

Bless and protect the front liners: the firefighters, the police officers, the search and rescue teams, the medical personnels, the social workers, and the volunteers. Grant them wisdom, courage, and compassion, that through their rescue efforts, Your love and healing grace will be known to the world.

We pray for the leaders and the people of Hong Kong to be resilient as they rebuild the city. May they respond to the cries of the victims with generosity, protect the vulnerable, and show the love of Christ through their words and deeds.

We pray all these in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Amen.

Written on the Palm of His Hand

What a beautiful promise that God has engraved (not written, which can be erased) our names on His palm. Just as engraving something means sealing something permanently, God is committed to His people.

This is an assurance that God cares for us, He watches over us, He loves us and He will not forget us.


He knows us by name – He knows us individually. He creates each of us with so much love and care.

Whatever you are going through right now, He cares for you. He is right there with you.
