Messiah guests are invited to enter deeper into the season of advent this season through a display in the Church Narthex.

The display will feature a new tree each week focusing on the theme of that week's advent gospel message. The first week was hope, the second week peace, and the third and fourth weeks will be love and joy respectively as we journey towards Christmas.

Each week will feature a different writing prompt for guests to write their thoughts on an ornament to help decorate the tree.

During the first week, "Hope" guests were invited to write about their hopes for the future. For "Peace," doves were labeled with notes about how Christ is present in their lives.

The display will culminate with the Christmas tree in the sanctuary during the fourth week of advent.
