You’re Invited to Celebrate Christmas with Sutton Salvation Army Church
We invite you to join us in celebrating the true meaning of Christmas at Sutton Salvation Army Church. Our church is a place of love, joy, and community, and we believe that Christmas is a time to share these values with others
Advent is more than just twinkly lights and carols; it’s a time for the church to actively remember God’s promises to the world. It’s about remembering the day when God put on flesh and dwelt among us, when heaven and earth collided in the person of Jesus. We look back to that first arrival, but we also look forward in eager anticipation of his promised return, when all things will be made new. So Advent is a season of both remembering and hoping, of celebrating the “already” and yearning for the “not yet.” It’s a time to prepare our hearts for the king who comes not in earthly power, but in humility, peace and love.
We hope that this Christmas will be a time of love, joy and peace for you and your family.
