LOST AND FOUND� ere are many items in the Chapel Lost and Found which will be donated if not claimed by Dec 7. If you have lost an item, please speak to an usher at the Main Worship Room doors.

In Scripture we see that part of God’s nature is that He is self-disclosing or self-revealing. God longs not only to know His creation but for His creation to know Him. Advent anticipates and celebrates God’s full self-revelation in Jesus. � roughout Scripture, God reveals glimpses of His character in order to prepare people for the full revelation in Jesus. Biblical scholars use the word “theophany” to describe times when God appears and reveals a piece of His character. When broken down, this Greek word simply means “God appearance” (theos = God, phanos = appear). In each appearance we should pay special attention to what we can learn about God’s presence with us. By walking chronologically through occasions of God appearing prior to that � rst Christmas, our hope is to experience the same anticipation the Israelites experienced waiting for their Messiah. � ey had caught glimpses of God but were waiting for God to � nally reveal ALL of Himself in the Messiah. We know the Messiah did come, and God was fully revealed at Christmas.

LOST AND FOUND� ere are many items in the Chapel Lost and Found which will be donated if not claimed by Dec 7. If you have lost an item, please speak to an usher at the Main Worship Room doors.

In Scripture we see that part of God’s nature is that He is self-disclosing or self-revealing. God longs not only to know His creation but for His creation to know Him. Advent anticipates and celebrates God’s full self-revelation in Jesus. � roughout Scripture, God reveals glimpses of His character in order to prepare people for the full revelation in Jesus. Biblical scholars use the word “theophany” to describe times when God appears and reveals a piece of His character. When broken down, this Greek word simply means “God appearance” (theos = God, phanos = appear). In each appearance we should pay special attention to what we can learn about God’s presence with us. By walking chronologically through occasions of God appearing prior to that � rst Christmas, our hope is to experience the same anticipation the Israelites experienced waiting for their Messiah. � ey had caught glimpses of God but were waiting for God to � nally reveal ALL of Himself in the Messiah. We know the Messiah did come, and God was fully revealed at Christmas.
