This Advent seems particularly pertinent, as we also wait for the end of the ongoing pandemic. During this season we wait in hope for all these things. Our paraments are purple to remind us of the hope that sustains us. Music is covered by one of these licenses: Reprinted and streamed with permission under ONE LICENSE # A-731472.
