Advent 2025: What Can't Wait

Advent is the season of waiting. As children, we waited on Santa, so we could finally unwrap our presents under the tree. As adults, we wait for family to arrive f rom out of town, presents to arrive at our door step in time for wrapping, parking spots to open up and on and on. Advent is the season of waiting, but how do we wait for God? Do we sit around doing nothing? Or do we live as if the God we wait for is already here? In preparation for Christ’s coming, we will ask together - what simply can’t wait? What requires our attention and presence? Is it forgiveness and reconciliation? Is it kindness and mercy? Is it healing or praise?
This Advent, we invite you to join us as we imagine, prioritize and prepare. Maybe some things just can’t wait!

Worship with us

At Lynnewood, we embrace a diversity of musical and worship expressions.  Our choirs lead us in traditional hymn singing and our Wellspring band offers modern inspiration.  Our messages are biblically-grounded and relevant to daily life.  We pray through creative expression, holy conversation, and the traditional prayers of the church.  Whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey of faith, you can find a place to praise God and grow in faith here.
