Advent begins. The church year begins not with New Years day, but with the start of the joyful and quieting season.
Advertisers suggest we purchase to prepare for Christmas. Advent suggests we spend our best time doing just the opposite. Advent is a season for preparation, for reflection, for holy waiting on God.
But how?
How do we take what can be such a hectic time and give it back to God? What helps us to prepare for God to come among us? What practices this Advent will help us to recognize and honor the sacred in our midst?
Please be with us tomorrow as we explore this together. We’ll discover the wonders of the season again at both the 10am and the 7pm service.
Advent Blessings to You,
Giulianna+
